Water woes hit 2 CDO barangays
January 29, 2010
Residents in two heavily-populated barangays here in Cagayan de Oro city complained of water supply interruptions from the Cagayan de Oro Water District (COWD) in their areas since the start of the Christmas holiday season.
Barangay Patag resident Alberto Manuel Subornido described the flow of their water supply as being “erratic” and “unreliable.”
He said the water supply would be out as early as 7:00 to 8:00 in the morning everyday making it very inconvenient for those persons who are going to work or to their schools.
“Bisan kinsa pa ang imong pangutan-on diri mao gyud ang problema (You can ask anyone here and they would relay to you the same problem),” he said.
He added that their water supply problem was more felt during the Christmas and New Year holidays.
Carmen resident Katherine Palad said they are also experiencing the same water woes with those in Barangay Patag.
“Ang agas murag ihi nalang gud labi na kanang peak hours. Samot kadtong pasko halos wala gyud (The water supply flow would be like that of a person urinating especially during peak hours. The worst was during the Christmas season when there was almost no water supply at all),” she said in a text message.
COWD spokesperson Ledel Sagrado admitted that their water distribution firm’s Production wells 17 and 25, which supply water to barangays Carmen and Patag, are not fully functioning.
“The two production wells are suffering technical problems,” she said.
She added that there were also some problems with the water pressure in higher-level areas in the two barangays.
Sagrado said they had already sent out men to fix the two production wells and that they are now being fixed to make sure that the water supply distribution in the two barangays are back to normal as soon as possible.
