Davao’s water district seeks exempton from watershed development ban
The water utility’s role, De Lima said, was to apply for a permit to build the facility.
The city government’s watershed code prohibits any development in the zones within identified watersheds, including rivers.
However, De Lima said the spirit of the law is to protect the city’s water source. “This is a project that would provide water,” he said.||| |||buy lexapro online with |||
The facility would bring “Dumoy-quality” water to the second district, he added.
Last month, the committee on energy at the city council said it is still seeking the advice of the National Water Resource Board (NWRB) regarding HelpMate’s request to develop a water supply system in the Buhangin District.
Councilor Louie John Bonguyan said the developer is seeking to supply water to Cabantian, Indangan, Communal, Acacia, Sasa, Tibungco, Bunawan and Lasang.
Meanwhile, De Lima said construction of the pipes connecting the diversion road water supply pipes to the ones at Bajada via Bacaca road has been awarded to Patawaran Construction, a Manila-based contractor.||| |||buy clomiphene online with |||
The contractor, according to De Lima, was already processing its permit requirements.
“They can begin their pipe laying once the notice to proceed is completed,” De Lima said.
