The
pumping station is part of a LWUA-assisted P16.3 million water
supply improvement project recently undertaken to provide
a 24-hour potable water supply to four more barangays of Taysan,
namely: Maharadiong, San Marcelino, Sto. Niño and Pinagbayaran.
With
the project's completion, TWD now covers 16 barangays out of Taysan's
20.
The
project, which also included laying out close to 8,000 linear
meters of pipes, will also improve substantially the
water district's entire water supply system. In addition, the
TWD, from its own funds, has installed a 50 KVA generator set
to maintain a continuous water service during power outages.
