When water services are unreliable, businesses suffer, investments dwindle, and our community’s potential remains untapped.
React to this post with your thoughts on the water situation in Iloilo.
Together, we can ensure a reliable water supply for a thriving economy.
Do you believe water distributors are reliable enough to provide businesses with sufficient water for economic development?
Reliable water access is crucial for the business sector to thrive. Industries such as manufacturing and tourism, which heavily depend on water, can operate efficiently with a steady supply. Additionally, a robust water supply ensures public health and sanitation, preventing the spread of waterborne diseases.
Earlier this month, the Iloilo Economic Development Foundation Inc. (ILED), led by Engr. Terence Uygongco, voiced strong support for Mayor Jerry Treñas’ call for Metro Pacific Iloilo Water (MPIW) to urgently improve its water delivery services.
ILED backs the mayor’s planned discussions with MPIW to explore potential solutions, including transferring service areas that MPIW cannot adequately serve to other capable distributors.
