The Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA) is taking steps to address the impending water crisis caused by the El Niño phenomenon by assuming control of the Metro Cebu Water District (MCWD).

According to Ronnie Ong, LWUA’s chair, this move aims to mitigate the losses that MCWD has incurred over recent years. Ong highlighted significant losses, with MCWD reporting 20.34 million cubic meters (cu. m) in 2020, followed by 24.542 million cu. m in 2021, and 29.481 cu. m in 2022.

“We are implementing President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s directive in response to El Niño. MCWD serves numerous communities, including four highly urbanized cities and four municipalities,” Ong emphasized.

Ong attributed losses due to non-revenue water to aging pipelines, mismanagement, and inadequate system upgrades.
