BAGUIO CITY – Mayor Benjamin Magalong here said the city continues to enhance water use and conservation efforts with the acquisition of P90 million from the Budget department for the construction of a rain water harvesting facility within the Camp 8 watershed on Kennon Road.
Magalong informed city government department heads that the fund was committed to be released by no less than Budget Secretary Wendel Avisado to help in the efforts to implement strategic measures to effectively and efficiently address the impending water shortage in the city.
Magalong added that the Camp 8 water harvesting facility will serve as an additional water containment area to hold rain water for future use because of emerging threats of water shortage caused by the depletion of the existing water sources aggravated by the increasing number of illegal deep wells operating in the different parts of the city.
