City mayor Alipio Fernandez (left) held talks recently with visiting

a sustainable source and supply of potable water for the city and
its residents in view of Dagupan's sandy geological foundation and
the threat of saltwater intrusion into its shallow natural freshwater
reserves. LWUA is readying a P150 million project for the rehabilitation
and expansion of the water supply syustem of the Dagupan City Water
District to meet long term demands, according to Pichay. LWUA will
also install rainwater harvesting facilaities in the city, the first
