EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The year under recovery process that has continued apace highlights the challenges two
years after Typhoon Yolanda left Eastern Visayas a badlands. This is also the time where
evaluation takes place, assessing what worked and did less so and make the efforts
required to further enhance capacity to respond and recover in the future; a time for
shared responsibility in building resilience to the affected community. Thus, the people
behind the Metro Carigara Water District (MCWD) were fueled with optimism and vibrancy
in helping rebuild lives and continue to share in the District’s struggle to a phase of
recovery and rehabilitation efforts after surmounting the challenge of providing safe water
which is every man’s most basic need.
This 2015 Annual Report allows the reader to see and understand the ceaseless efforts
of the MCWD team, spirited to move on with the guiding efforts committed to genuine
public service, highlighting the continuous implementation of various projects, programs
and strategies to ensure that the MCWD stands true to its commitment of providing safe
water supply at all times.
WHAT WE DO?
MANDATE
The Metro Carigara Water District, originally named Carigara Metropolitan Water District,
was created in January 25, 1983, by virtue of the resolutions passed by the respective
municipal councils of the municipalities of Carigara, Barugo, Tunga and Capoocan,
following the enactment of the Presidential Decree 198 (Provincial Water Utilities Act of
1973) in September 1973 by then President Ferdinand E. Marcos to ensure that Filipinos
in the countryside have access to safe and potable water.

Pursuant to said mandate the MCWD was thus created for the following purposes laid
down by the law:
Acquiring, installing, improving, maintaining and operating water supply and
distribution systems for domestic, industrial, municipal and agricultural uses for
residents and lands within the boundaries of such districts;
Providing, maintaining and operating wastewater collection, treatment and disposal
facilities; and
Conducting such other functions and operations incidental to water resource
development, utilization and disposal within such districts, as are necessary or
incidental to said purpose. (PD 198, as amended, Chapter II, Sec. 5)
CORE PURPOSE
“QUALITY OF LIFE by way of SAFE, SUFFICIENT and AFFORDABLE WATER for the people
of Metro Carigara.”
CORE VALUES
Public service centered on love of God and country.
Excellence and integrity.
Professionalism and performance.
Stewardship of tomorrow and the environment.

CORE STRATEGY
The MCWD aims to achieve its vision, mission and objectives through Total Quality
Management.
CORPORATE OBJECTIVES
Water Security
Water Resiliency
Service Congeniality
Efficient and Effective Resources Management
COMPLIANCE WITH RA 10026
Republic Act No. 10026, also known as, “An Act Granting Income Tax Exemption to Local
Water Districts By Amending Section 27(C) of the National Internal Revenue Code (NIRC)
of 1997, As Amended, and Adding Section 289-A to the Code, for the Purpose,” provides
for exempting local water districts from the payment of corporate income tax as a way
of giving support to their mandate to provide clean and safe water to the provinces. As
such, water districts are expected to comply with the requirements of the law for such
tax exemption by using the amount that would have been paid as income tax for capital
expenditures that are aimed at expanding and improving the quality of water services and
adopting internal control reforms, among others.
After last year’s compliance, the MCWD once again dutifully complies with the mandate
of RA 10026. The year was focused on various projects and programs in the areas of a)
water service improvement, b) NRW Management, c) fiscal discipline and sustainability

WHAT WE HAVE DONE?
Operational Highlights
ENSURING WATER SAFETY
Water safety is the primary concern of MCWD. To ensure the delivery of safe
drinking water to our concessionaires, regular water quality monitoring is
conducted throughout the year. In 2015, all of the water samples collected around
the service area of the water district have passed the Philippine National Standards
for Drinking Water (PNSDW).
The following tables show the summary of the different water quality tests
conducted for the year 2015.

Water Treatment and Water Quality Testing Activities
Metro Carigara Water District
employs a simple water
treatment process which
involves sedimentation and
chlorination. Raw water from
Maula-og River is drawn from
the impounding dam. Water
is transported from the
impounding dam to the
treatment plant by gravity.
The treatment begins in a small water maze where the initial reduction of silt and
turbidity takes place. Initial disinfection also takes place through a pre-chlorination
treatment which is done at the inlet of the small water maze using dissolved
chlorine granules. The pre-treated water is then sent to the sedimentation basin
where reduction of turbidity takes place as sediments settle at the bottom of the
basin. Lastly, water is
disinfected by injecting
chlorine gas before it
is sent to the
consumers. Chlorine
gas is fed at rates
ranging from 28 to 30
pounds per day and is
strictly monitored
hourly. The chlorine
dosage is regulated to
maintain a chlorine residue concentration of not lesser than 0.3 nor greater than
Chlorine Gas (1 Ton)
Mixing Containers of Chlorine Granules
MCWD 2015 ANNUAL REPORT

1.5 parts per million (ppm) in any point of the distribution system as required of
the Philippine National Standards for Drinking Water (PNSDW).
Another water source is a spring located in Brgy. Daraupay, Capoocan, Leyte. This
water source is enclosed in a spring box and can supply water to the said
barangay. The spring water is disinfected using chlorine granules. Chlorine granules
are dissolved and is introduced to the spring water drop wise. The spring box is
visited and chlorine solution is supplied weekly. The chlorine residue is measured
and the dosage is regulated to meet the PNSDW for chlorine residue.
To monitor the water quality in
the distribution system, the
Production and Water Quality
Division conducts regular water
sampling and testing. Chlorine
residue monitoring is
conducted twice a week. This
is done in selected sampling
points around the four municipalities covered by the MCWD service area. The
permissible limits imposed is 0.3 to 1.5 ppm following the PNSDW requirement.
The results obtained are recorded in a Water Sampling Monitoring Sheet along
with the concessionaire information and details of the test conducted.

To monitor the
microbiological quality of
the water, bacteriological
tests are conducted
regularly. Water samples
from different sampling
points in the service area
are collected monthly
and sent to the Leyte
Metropolitan Water
District (LMWD)
Laboratory for
bacteriological test. The number of samples collected and sent for analysis is
based on the number of population served by the water district following the
PNSDW.
Another bacteriological test is conducted by the Production and Water Quality
Division. The presence or absence of the indicator bacteria E. coli in the water is
determined using Primary Health Care Media. This test is conducted weekly and
is properly documented with pictures of the water sampling and results.
Aside from the treated water, the quality of the raw water is also monitored.
Samples from the water source are collected and are sent to LMWD Laboratory
for Physical-Chemical Analysis. This is done twice a year. The sterilized sampling
bottles used for the said tests are obtained from LMWD laboratory.
Regular Flushing and Water Pressure Monitoring
Regular flushing of distribution and transmission pipelines are conducted regularly
to eliminate the sediments present in the pipes that may cause turbidity of the

water. Flushing is conducted at least once a month in each of the municipality
served by the water district. The activity is scheduled to be done at 10 o’clock
in the evening as the consumption is lesser during this time.
Another function of the Production and Water Quality Control Division is the
regular monitoring of the water pressure. This regular activity of the Production
Division is assigned to a Water Utilities Maintenance Man. He is responsible in
the regular controlling of the main gate valve at settling basin. This main valve
controlling has two purposes namely (1) to raise the water level and (2) to control
the water pressure on the main distribution lines that may burst at night. Reducing
main gate valve is usually done in the evening because consumers of the water
district reduces to almost 90%. The main gate valve that is located at our settling
basin compound, is being reduced to a given or specified turns depending on the
water level at exactly 9pm and start opening at 2am until it reaches its full
opening to 24 turns.
TIME WATER LEVEL NO. OF TURNS REDUCED
9 PM 2.79 METERS – BELOW 21 TURNS
9 PM 2.80 METERS – ABOVE 20 TURNS
Regular Cleaning of the Dam and Settling Basin
Cleaning of the dam at Maulaug
River and at settling basin has
been a regular activity of the
water district to ensure safe
drinking water supply. These are
conducted in order to remove the
settled sludge at the bottom of
Scraping sludge at Settling Basin
MCWD 2015 ANNUAL REPORT

the basin for the past six months’ period.
Cleaning of the settling basin is done twice a year. For 2015, the cleaning of settling
basin was conducted last April 13 to 16 and December 1 to 4. The scheduled cleaning
of the settling basin took a bit longer than in the previous years because the rehabilitation
of the settling basin wall was done simultaneously with the basin cleaning. Retrofitting of
the said settling basin wall was planned in 2014 and implemented in 2015.
On the other hand, cleaning
of the impounding dam is
another main activity of the
Production and Water Quality
Control Division to improve
the intake of water which is
transported through the
transmission pipelines down to
the settling basin. Cleaning of
the dam was conducted by
the MCWD personnel once a
month, to remove fallen tree branches and
other debris. They also remove boulders and aggregates and washed sand that traps the
continuous heavy flow through the intake pipe.
Settling Basin Wall Rehabilitation
Settling Basin Wall Rehabilitation was
initiated simultaneously with the
cleaning of the settling basin. This
Basin Wall Retrofitting is expected to
be finished in 9 years. That’s why, the
district started the first and second
phase of the said project in the year
2015 and two additional phases in
every year to come.

The estimated approved amount for the
settling basin wall rehabilitation for the two
phases is Six Hundred Sixty Thousand
Pesos (₱660,000.00).
Construction of Warehouse
The multiphase construction project of warehouse was initiated by MCWD in the year
2014. The second 2nd phase of the said project was initiated in 2015 that covers 84.5
square meters (m²) floor area prioritizing the concrete works and roofing system
installation. Concrete works includes 7 columns, beams, rafter, gutter and slab.
The approved total estimated cost for the warehouse project phase 2 in 2015 is Seven
Hundred Thousand Pesos (₱700,000.00). Almost nine percent (9%) of the total estimated
budget was exceeded to initiate the construction to a physical work progress of 100% by
the end of December 2015.

Drainage System Construction
During heavy rainfall, surface runoffs enter the sedimentation basin causing high turbidity.
As a precautionary measure for future similar events, the office had to construct a
drainage system to prevent the over flows of rain water coming from the upper part of
the settling basin
compound to enter the
sedimentation basin.
These drainage system
project is also a multi-
phase project and is
expected to its full
completion by the end
of 2017.
The first phase of the
drainage system project
covers one hundred eighteen linear meters (118 m), while the second phase of the
drainage system covers one hundred linear meters (100 m).
ACCOMPLISHMENT
Drainage system project Phase 1 and 2 was initiated in FY 2015. The estimated total
cost of the said project is One Million and Three Hundred Thousand Pesos
MCWD 2015 ANNUAL REPORT
21
(₱1,300,000.00) almost eighty-three percent (83%) of the estimated cost was spent by
the district to initiate the physical work progress of 100% by the end of December 2015.
Construction of Perimeter Fencing of Basin Compound
To maintain the security and safety of the settling basin compound, the Water District
come up to a decision to continue the multiphase perimeter fencing project of the settling
basin. In FY 2015, Phase 4 of the Perimeter fencing project commenced and covers 50
linear meters (50 m).
ACCOMPLISHMENT
Construction of the Perimeter Fence of Settling Basin Compound has a total approved
budget of Two Hundred Thousand Pesos (₱200,000.00). The total expenses incurred for
this project is One Hundred Forty-
Seven Thousand Three Hundred
Ninety Pesos (₱147,390.00). Almost
74% of this total approved budget
MCWD 2015 ANNUAL REPORT

Construction of the Perimeter Fence of Basin Compound Phase 4 has an approved budget
of Two Hundred Thousand Pesos (₽200,000.00) for the year 2015. Almost seventy-four
percent (74%) of the budget was incurred in order for the project to be realized to 100%
by the end of October 2015.
Retaining Wall / Pipe Encasement Project
One of the major projects of
Metro Carigara Water District
for the CY 2015 is the
encasement of the major
transmission pipelines from
dam to basin. Construction of
Retaining Wall for these
pipelines will protect from
further damages in case of
land slide due to heavy rains
and earthquakes. Last 2014,
Metro Carigara Water District signed a
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
together with the United States Agency
International Development (USAID) to
rehabilitate the typhoon damaged
retaining walls at our Maulaug River Dam.
The said encasement project for the
retaining wall of these transmission
pipelines funded by the USAID started its construction in January 19, 2015 and was
completed last March 18, 2015.

IMPROVEMENT OF WATER FACILITY
Distribution Pipeline Extension – Joson De Mata St., Baybay, Carigara
In continuity to the distribution line laid along Joson
de Mata St. [from Aguja to San Roque Sts.] in 2014,
the water district replaced the 1ӯ G.I. Pipeline
[from Esperanza to San Quintin Sts.] with 3ӯ uPVC,
further extending the line [traversing Joson de
Mata St. Ext.] down to the main line in Real St. this
year.
This 258m pipe extension project is almost 91% in
progress. All pipes are already in place, however, considering the time length of water
interruptions, the interconnection
activity to the main distribution
line and transfer of service taps
will be done on the first periodic
(2016) cleaning of the
Old 1ӯ G.I. Distribution Line replaced with 3ӯ
uPVC as seen on the photos.

sedimentation basin. The district ensures adequate and increased pressure of water will
soon be experienced by more than fifty (50) consumers close to the new line.
Distribution Pipeline Improvement – Brgy. Bislig, Carigara, Leyte
Consequent to the increasing number of water service users in Brgy. Bislig, Carigara,
Leyte, the increasing number of complaints for the insufficient supply of water opted the
district to separate the distribution line supplying water to some water service
concessionaires of Brgy. Tangnan along the barangay road going to Bislig. A 3ӯ uPVC
distribution line [390m] parallel to the existing was laid from the main distribution line
[National Highway] down to the boundary of the two barangays allowing the new to
supply water to Brgy. Bislig exclusively.
Distribution Pipeline Upgrading – Brgy. Minuhang, Barugo, Leyte
Water users of Brgy. Minuhang, Barugo, Leyte have experienced intermittent to no water
supply at all on the last few months of 2014. Aside from the fact that the barangay is
located at the tail-end,
the existing galvanized
iron of 1½” diameter
distribution pipe could
no longer adequately
supply the growing
number of
concessionaires in the
area.
To address this difficulty
in supplying sufficient
water, MCWD upgraded
MCWD 2015 ANNUAL REPORT
25
the line into a 3-inch diameter
uPVC. This is approximately half a
kilometer [500m] pipeline that will
deliver the water needs of the
barangay. The project started on
June and completed [100%] before
the end of October 2015.
Distribution Pipeline Upgrading – Brgy. Parena, Carigara, Leyte
Similar to Brgy. Bislig, another barangay
[Brgy. Parena] near Carigara poblacion is
also experiencing water shortage during
peak hours. One of the main reasons is
that some of the water users
of Brgy. Barugohay Norte are
connected to the fore line of
the distribution pipe going to
Brgy. Parena.
New parallel 3ӯ uPVC pipeline [220m] has been laid from the main distribution line [along
Real St.] down to the junction of the two adjoining barangays to separately supply water

to Brgy. Parena. A total amount of ₱83,061.30 is incurred to completely accomplish [100%]
the project by the end of October 2015.
Distribution Pipeline Upgrading – Brgy. Canal-Uyawan, Carigara, Leyte
In year 2015, another one (1) kilometer length of 4ӯ uPVC distribution line was laid in
barangay road joining Brgy. Binongtoan [formerly Brgy. Canal] and Brgy. Uyawan. These
two named barangays undergo similar problems encountered by the barangays situated
at tail-ends. Since the existing 2 ½”Ø G.I. pipeline insufficiently supply water to all service
users in Brgy. Uyawan, the district tapped from the main line [National Highway] another
larger diameter distribution pipe to transport more water to the said barangays.
The upgrading line project amounted to ₱365,920.50 and completed [100%] last December
2015.
