Modern piped potable water supply finally comes to the upland Nueva
Vizcaya town of Diadi through the combined efforts of the Diadi
local government, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
(DENR) and the Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA) paving
the way for the completion of its first ever water supply system
recently. The Diadi LGU worked for the funding for the source development
courtesy of the CDF of Senator Aquilino Pimentel, Jr., the water
tank and reservoir (inset) with the National Power Corporation (NPC)-Magat
Hydroelectric Power Plant under ERC Regulation 1-94 and the pipeline
component through an LGU Support Credit Program loan with the Land
Bank of the Philippines (LBP); the DENR provided the watershed area
where the source is located while LWUA provided a P5 million loan
to the Diadi Water District (DWD) for spring development, sedimentation
and collection tank and transmission and distribution lines. Photo
