DCWD keen on Comprehensive Illegal Connection Prosecution program

Targeting to bring down non-revenue water to 25% or lower as set by the Local Water Utilities Association (LWUA) for a water utility under very large category, the Davao City Water District is keen on its Comprehensive Illegal Connection Prosecution program (CICPP). It sees the need to eliminate illegal connection as this contributes to non-revenue water (NRW) that form part of commercial losses. The average NRW recorded during the first quarter of 2009 was 28% and DCWD is bent at bringing it down to 25% or lower as said.

DCWD’s implementation of the CICPP has legal mandates emanating from Presidential Decree 198 or the "Provincial Water

Utilities Act of 1973" and Republic Act 8041 itself. The violations are: 1) illegal direct water tapping and 2) tampering of water meter, installing and/or using of the same. Both offenses are punishable by imprisonment of six months to two years and a fine not exceeding double the amount of the value of water stolen.

DCWD celebrates local Earth Day with customers

As a government agency providing water service, the Davao City Water District popularized April 22, International Earth Day among its paying customers in Bajada and Matina offices.

The DCWD locally celebrated Earth Day by setting up information trivia on environment wherein various information education communication materials on water conservation and watershed rehabilitation were given to the walk – in customers last April 22, 2009.

This activity has been done by the office for years to concentrate the campaign to its customers who are stakeholders of environmental protection.

“Each of us is stakeholder of environment and is called to play an active role in rebuilding the Earth. One cannot dissociate himself from this universal concern for no one exists without the environment. Thus, let us do our own little share in reshaping the Earth. We can still make this planet green so long as we stand committed to the cause of environmental stewardship. Our common challenge is to make Earth Day a day – to – day celebration and a lifestyle”, said DCWD general manager Rodora N. Gamboa.

DCWD celebrates World Water Day locally

As the world celebrates World Water Day in March 22, Davao City Water District, celebrates locally last March 23 with its paying customers thru “Water Trivia” information campaign in its Bajada and Matina offices.

DCWD staged a mini – info booth where customers picked their trivia. Information includes global and local data on water. Freebies such as customized book marks, ref magnets, brochures and other information education communication materials were given away to them.

This is the third year that DCWD stage this event to mainstream water and watershed education among its paying customers. In the past years, DCWD commemorated the event through hanging of streamers, staging of exhibit and printing of World Water Day propaganda in the four local leading dailies. For the last three years, DCWD personalized the celebration by bringing closer the event to its customers as this proved to be effective means in raising the level of water consciousness and environmental awareness of the Davaoeños.

DCWD backs 9th WMYC eco – camp

For nine years now, Davao City Water District thru its Community Relations and External Affairs Department – Community Relations Unit, continues to support the annual eco – camp organized by the Watershed Management Youth Council (WMYC), an in - school youth partner organization of the former.

This year, around 200 youth from high schools and colleges in the city will once again troop to DCWD Park in Malagos for a three – day ecological camp on April 3 – 5, 2009 themed “Sustainable Water for the Youth Today and for the Next Generation”.

From this topic, the youth will design plans as to their participation in the implementation of the same.

Other highlights include team building exercises, workshops, review of the 2008 - 2009 WMYC plans and the induction of officers for SY 2009-2010. Expected to grace the event are key representatives from environmental agencies.
