| Leak Response Time Soars to 8.35 Hours |
|
It took more time for the crew to respond to leak reports in July. From just over 6 hours last month, the average response time stretched by 37.11 percent to 8.35 hours. Likewise, the average repair time climbed 9.27 percent to 2.71 hours from 2.48 hours last month. This was partly due to the increased number of leaks reported during the month, which totaled to 2,934, up 5.46 percent from 2,782 during the previous month. However, the number of reports received in July last year was slightly higher at 2,953 and yet response time averaged at a shorter 7.78 hours, while repair time was registered at a little over 2 hours.
Mainline leaks, which totaled to 188 this month, comprised 6.4 percent of the total leaks reported. The rest occurred along the service lines.

The total length of transmission and distribution lines has reached 1,298 kilometers, up 0.32 percent from last month’s 1,294 and 2.81 percent from last year’s 1,263 kilometers. For July alone, 4.2 additional pipelines were laid in Deca Homes-Davao Subdivision at Cabantian system and St. Francis Subdivision at Tugbok system. These comprised 100, 75 and 50 mm PVC pipes.

| Per Capita Consumption Falls 4.4% |
|
An average Davao City resident consumed 191 liters of water per day for his daily activities such as drinking, cooking, bathing and laundry. This registered a 4.4 percent drop from last month’s average consumption of 200 liters per capita per day.
Billed consumption for the whole month totaled to 4.7 million cubic meters, or an average of 153 thousand cubic meters per day. |

With 216 thousand cubic meters extracted from ground and surface water sources everyday, this indicates that over 63 thousand cubic meters of water went unbilled everyday. Unbilled water includes water lost due to leaks, metering inaccuracies, pilferage and maintenance activities.
For the past several years, per capita consumption has ranged from 178 to 208 liters per day.

| Staff-Connection Ratio Settles at 6.04/1,000 |
|
The ratio of staff per 1,000 connections this month barely moved at 6.04 from 6.11 last month. However, compared to July last year, the ratio exhibited a substantial 4.77 percent drop from 6.39. The shrinking of the staff-connection ratio indicates a more efficient operation by the utility this past several months as service connections continued to climb,

while total workforce was almost steady, and even dipped at times, at its less than a thousand level.
The implementation of the Program on Reclassification of Casual and Allocation of Additional Plantilla (PRAP) was yet to be felt as processing of documents for the filling up of the new permanent positions under the program was still ongoing.
