Welcome to Butuan City Water District |
|
 |
The Butuan City Water District (BCWD) was created on April 1, 1974 by the Municipal Board of Butuan City under the leadership of then Mayor Figurado O. Plaza. Its birth was covered by Resolution No. 256 and in accordance with the provisions Presidential Decree No. 198, as amended, otherwise known as the Provincial Water Utilities Act of 1973.
Officially appointed to constitute the first set of policy makers representing five sectors of the community were: Dr. Arturo Ramirez ( Professional Sector), Miguel Agot ( Business Sector ), Engr. Federico Lamigo ( Socio- Civic Sector),Rev. Cesario Alegado ( Education Sector ), and Aida Ochoa - Veloso ( Women's Sector). |
At the start, BCWD crowed with only 700 service connections and some outdated facilities handed down by the city government - owned waterworks which inherited the water system from the defunct NAWASA - a government operated national water system .
As of May 2008 , it prides itself with 30,897 active service connections generated from the total 52 barangays which make up the existing network. Distribution lines covering more barangays are scheduled for activation anytime after the additional projects will be completed. |
