The Hon. Governor Jose Edwin “Boboy” Hamor directed nine (9) existing water districts in the province to come up with a comprehensive plan to attain a sustainable supply of safe water for the people of Sorsogon. The directive was issued in a meeting on November 28, 2024 at Governor’s office. In attendance were eight (8) General Managers from different water districts in the province and key Provincial Government officials.
Governor Hamor emphasized that the provision of safe water is an essential service that should be provided by the government; the absence of which is considered as deterrent to economic growth, a hazard to public health and well-being of every Sorsoganon. He then directed Mr. Dominador O. Jardin and Engr. Odessa B. Tejada, Provincial Planning & Development Officer and Provincial Engineer, respectively, to assist local water districts for the crafting of said Plan.
Sorsogon Provincial Association of Water Districts (SPAWD) President GM Engr. Eduardo P. Tejada together with General Managers of all water districts in the province were very grateful of the Governor’s initiative and further committed to adhere to said directive.
The meeting resulted to an agreement for the group to meet again this December 17, 2024 to start the crafting of the Plan. Other water supply stakeholders will be invited for the upcoming meeting, possibly with some workshops.
