– A majority of the concessionaires that attended the public hearing called for by the Metro Kidapawan Water District urged the agency to assure them of continued water supply and quality service once the proposed water rate adjustment takes place on May this year.

MKWD Assistant General Manager Sandy Alqueza explained to the participants that their primary reason for increasing rates was for the agency to develop potential water sources, like deep wells, spring, rivers, and streams.The series of strong quakes in October that hit parts of North Cotabato damaged almost all of the facilities of the MKWD. Alqueza estimated the damage at P82.7 million.Data from MKWD showed that after the quakes, at least 85 percent of the 43.

The minimum water rates of MKWD would increase by P47.90 starting April this year or from P156.60 to P204.50 per 10 cubic meters monthly consumption.“Our water connections are increasing at a fast pace. But we can’t expand because of limited sources,” she explained.Present during the consultation was a representative from the Local Water Utilities Administration .
