Findings and Conclusions: Tool 1 Household Survey
Safe Water
a) What does your Nominal Data
related to income, gender,
exposure to natural hazards,
sanitation and communicating
hygiene tell you about your
respondents’ response to Safe
Water?
b) Did you observe any direct
relationship between their
responses related to Safe Water
and Water Supply to other
aspects of WASH in the survey
results?
Due to high poverty level, problem on land ownership, & absence of level 3 water distribution, the community opts to use shallow well as their water source which is at high risk of contamination. Yes. 100% HH uses shallow well water source.
Sanitation
a) What does your Nominal Data
related to income, gender,
exposure to natural hazards, safe
water and communicating
hygiene tell you about your
respondents’ response to
Sanitation?
b) Did you observe any direct
relationship between their
responses related to Sanitation to
other aspects of WASH in the
survey results?
Due to high poverty level, problem on land ownership, absence of level 3 water distribution majority (64%) of the members of the community does not own a toilet thus open defecation is a general practice. Yes. The community has high incidence on WASH related diseases specially diarrhea and schistosomiasis
Hygiene
a) What does your Nominal Data
related to income, gender,
exposure to natural hazards, safe
water, sanitation and
communicating hygiene tell you
about your respondents’
response to Hygiene?
b) Did you observe any direct
relationship between their
responses related to Hygiene to
other aspects of WASH in the
survey results?
Since majority of the community is below poverty threshold, majority (51%) of the members of the community have limited access to information on WASH Yes. The community has high incidence on WASH related diseases specially diarrhea and schistosomiasis
Conclusions
20

Analysis of Water Supply Facilities and Systems
Water Sanitation Hygiene
Describe general situation of water in the municipality? In terms of:
a. Availability, type and consistency of yield of Level 1 facilities
There is a sufficient volume of level 1 water systems (shallow well)
b. Coverage of Level 2 and Level 3 water systems
There is a limited coverage of level 2 water system (138 household for two Brgy.) No level 3.
c. Water quality and risks to contamination of Levels 1, 2 and 3
There is a high risk of water contamination. No water treatment facility
d. Extent or water quality monitoring of Levels 1,2 and 3
With regular water monitoring through water testing and reactive approach to result of water testing.
Given the general description of the situation of water in the municipality, how will it impact positively/negatively on Sanitation? Negatively. Due to contamination hence spread of water borne diseases especially during the occurrence of flooding and also no water treatment maintenance.
Given the general description of the situation of water in the municipality, how will it impact positively/negatively on Hygiene? Positively hence supply of water is sufficient and negatively, due to accessibility from HH to water source hence time consuming.
22
Water service availability for Level 2 and Level 3 water systems (number of hours per day) - NONE
e. Which natural disaster are the Level 1, 2 and 3 water systems most vulnerable to?
Flooding.
Describe the issues and challenges facing water in the municipality?
In terms of: a. Sustainability of the
Level 1, 2 and Level 3 water facilities/systems o Technical – staff,
materials, design flaws, operations and maintenance
o Financial - water tariff
o Management structure
o The level of resilience of the system to withstand natural disaster.
Conclusions: f. Based on your findings and observations from Tool 2, formulate your conclusions:
a. What is the state of availability of safe water in your municipality? b. What are the issues surrounding safe water in your municipality?
There is sufficient supply of water however accessibility and potability is a problem.
V. Existing Sanitation Conditions
Presented in Table 4.1 are the households with access to sanitation facilities in which

Analysis of iWaSH Assessment Data and Information on Sanitation
Sanitation Water Hygiene
Describe the overall sanitation situation in the municipality: - sanitation (latrine) coverage
at the household level – percentage of or level of access of population with access/non-access to sanitary toilets; percentage of or level of access of population seemingly practicing open defecation; cite possible issues behind such level of sanitation coverage at the household level (linking with water and hygiene practices); If data is available, name top 5 barangays with lowest sanitation coverage/highest rate of open defecation (e.g. data from CBMS or FHSIS or from the SI)
- sanitation coverage at the level of public spaces –
Given the general description of the situation of sanitation in the municipality, how will it impact positively/negatively on safe water? Water contamination due to very low number of toilet facilities
Given the general description of the situation of sanitation in the municipality, how will it impact positively/negatively on hygiene? Creates high incidence of WASH related diseases.
24
percentage of or level of access to public spaces (day-care centres, health centres, markets, etc) with sufficient/insufficient sanitary toilets; cite possible issues behind such level of sanitation coverage at the level of public spaces (linking with water and hygiene promotion practices);
- sanitation situation in schools – ratio of toilets vs students (if possible, disaggregated between girls and boys); cite possible issues behind such situation in schools (linking with water and hygiene promotion practices in schools)
- presence/absence of drainage, septage management, solid waste management systems at the barangay and municipal levels; possible issues behind the presence/absence of these critical sanitation systems.
Presence of significant number of Barangay without sanitary toilet (i.e. JP Laurel at 76%, Quezon at 60 %, E. Duran at 53%, Santander at 47% and Trojello).
Formulation of Conclusions What is the level of risk of the population to water-borne and other sanitation-related communicable diseases (high/medium/low)? Which population group are more at risk (women, men, girls, boys)? What are the factors contributing to such level of risk related to sanitation link to water and hygiene behaviour and practices? What are the main issues and challenges on sanitation in the municipality? How are these issues and challenges linked to water and hygiene behaviour and practices? There is a high level of risk of the population to water-borne and other sanitation-related communicable diseases due to significantly poor water, sanitation & hygiene situation of the LGU. Women and children are more at risk. Factors The issues and challenges on sanitation is non-prioritization of WASH project in terms of local funding. LGU has no control on projects implemented by national agencies.

VI. Analysis of the iSWaSH Assessment Data and Information on CCA - DRRM

Trends:
What disasters is the municipality exposed to? How does this impact on safe water, sanitation and hygiene? Typhoon which basically results to flood, heavy rains and other weather disturbances which results to flooding thereby contaminating water sources which affects its potability.

IX. iSWaSH Assessment Data and Information for Cross Cutting Themes:
Gender Equality, Disaster Preparedness and Governance
Cross Cutting Elements
Conclusions
Gender Equality There are participation on the part of women, but their participation is very limited. Most of the involvement are on the consultation aspect only they are not involve in project planning, project conceptualization, monitoring and evaluation. Behavioral change on WASH is usually concern of the women when it is supposed to be the concern of all.
CCA – DRRM The Local Government Unit is not prepared in terms of man power, equipment’s, supplies and man power skills to respond to disasters. There are identified evacuation centers but the same are not ready to respond to the WASH needs of the evacuees. Financial limitation on the part of the LGU to invest on the said facilities is the main concern.
Governance
WASH related projects are mostly funded by external sources. The funds are available at the LGU level but they are usually used as counterpart funds which makes it dependent on the approval of the project. Local institution/structures within the LGU could not focus on WASH related concerns due to the local concerns which are not related to WASH.
