Said project utilizes water from Andoon River that undergo four processes before turning it to potable water.

It has already served the areas of So. Cotcot, Medina, Sancaville, Fatima Village, Greenville, Rovirih Heights, City Homes and partly, Campo Siete. Hence, water nowadays has started to regain its steady supply among other parts of the city. He added that when the reliability and efficiency of said treatment facility will be confirmed, CWD will expand and replicate the same procedure on the Bodiawe Spring source to address the problem of muddy water supply during rainy days to yield clean potable water even when it ‘s flooded.

He stressed that roughly 400 households apply for water connection every year. Having said figures, clearly, population growth led to more water demand. The water crisis experienced in San Carlos City was the least compared to those in the metropolis. Foreseeing this challenge, aside from the Bodiawe Spring, the CWD has already established other water sources: the Agluluod source, Pump 4 (at the back of the city hall), Florentino (Andoon River), Baticulan source, Pump 2 (Caballero Subd.), South Villa Well and the latest, the 5MLD Surface Water Treatment Plant (So. Medina, Brgy. Rizal). “If only all these water sources operate normally, they could yield a total of 8 million liters of water per day,” remarked Engr. Sanchez. Climate change also comes as a big factor with long dry spell somewhere and heavy rains in some places, water shortage is like a slow moving disaster now tardily felt by the local residents.
