Major Developments
P250-T
for 5 rural water projects OK'd
The
Sangguniang Panlalawigan has reportedly approved a Memorandum of Agreement
between the Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA) and the provincial
government covering the implementation of five rural water supply projects
costing a total of P250,000.00.
In
its recent session, a faction of the board identified with Gov. Hector S.
Sanchez okayed the MOA submitted by the LWUA Lingap Fund Task Force, which
has been tasked to develop and implement a program for Rural Waterworks
Systems in various barangays nationwide to be funded under the Lingap Para
sa Mahihirap Program Fund.
Under
the agreement, the provincial government will undertake the implementation
of the construction of rural water supply projects for barangays Cagdarao
in Panganiban; Rizal in Baras; San Vicente in Gigmoto; Paraiso in San
Miguel; and, Bacak in Bagamanoc, at a cost of P50,000.00 each according to
the technical standards and specifications set by LWUA.
For
its part, the LWUA Lingap Fund Task Force will release the funds for the
projects and assign a LWUA Action Officer to monitor the progress of the
projects and its implementation in accordance with the approved Program of
Work.
The
authority for the governor to enter into the agreement was approved by the
SP faction in its session last Nov. 27. The conduct of the session, as
well as the approval of the 1999 bidded projects worth P9-million and the
2000 Annual Investment Program, has been questioned by the Verceles bloc
led by Vice Gov. Alfred M. Aquino for its alleged lack of quorum, among
others.
