A representative of the National Anti-Poverty Commission (NAPC) surprisingly visited the agency last April 21, 2015. NAPC which according to its mandate, was established to serve as the coordinating and advisory body for the implementation of the social reform and poverty alleviation agenda

The evaluation focused on the grant by LWUA to SMWD which were later used in funding the now operational water system serving the community at brgy. Rabanes, San Marcelino. Brgy. Rabanes community mainly acquired its water source from well which was not a hundred percent safe and potable water and purchases from water refilling stations from the poblacion before the project was operative.

The Rabanes water system was catering water supply to 96 active concessionaires as of April, 2015 since its operation last November of 2014.

The Philippine Association of Water Districts (PAWD), the umbrella organization of local water districts in the country held its 36th National Convention last February 3-5 at the Waterfront Hotel, Lahug, Cebu City. Metro Cebu Water District hosted this anticipated event.

LWDs were facing a greater challenge these days with the surging matter on climate change that endangers water reservoir, the growing population of people that needs to be provided with safe water including those in remote communities and the pollution that spoils the quality of water. This year’s convention addressed these challenges. Themed “Acting Now Towards the Future of Local Water Districts”, in response to the swelling issue of climate change, the gathering emphasized the decisive role of Local Water Districts (LWD) of providing potable, adequate and affordable water in the community. It also highlighted LWDs greater role in conserving water sources and providing safe water to waterless communities.

The delegates also exchanged their ideas and their ideal methods and practices in their jurisdictions in addressing the issues faced by LWDs.
