FREE-FLOWING WATER
Clean, Potable Water in Moises Padilla Town Keeps Flowing From The Ground Since the 1930s, But Why The Town Opted to Spend Millions For a Different System?
FREE-FLOWING WATER. This original free-flowing potable water supply source in Moises Padilla (Magallon) town in central Negros Occidental was drilled by the Americans in the 1930s, and since then keeps producing crystal-clear, clean and sweet-tasting water. To control the upward flow of water from 500 feet below the ground, the Americans put up a water tank. Sadly though, excess water flows straight into the canal and into the creeks and rivers these days, giving rise to questions as to why the municipal government under Mayor Francisco Nazareno secured a multi-million-peso loan and used it to put up a water supply system coming not from the natural well but from a far-away barangay, thus requiring huge funds. Town folks had been are urging the mayor, since January, 2012 in a petition, to show how the loan was used for the new water system, and if all necessary requirements were complied prior to the project implementation, and to return to restore the old water system which is coming from this natural source. They claimed the new water system project did not have a permit from the water regulating agency.* (Arman Toga photos)
