“Providing an access to potable water to Samaleños is one of our Mayor Al David Uy’s priorities in his administration, and hopefully all the residents in Aundanao will be able to enjoy an access to a potable water”, Executive Assistant for Community Affairs Florencio Thaddeus Valera said.
The Igacos Water District had also committed to waive the first month of the water bill for Barangay Aundanao.
“We want to tell you nga ang Water district nagcommit nga mohatag sa inyo og safe potable water”, Igacos Water District Chairperson of Board Directors Florence Valera said.
