IPIL, Zamboanga Sibugay – The municipal
government here is slated to turn-over a water system project (level II) today
to Barangay Labe and Barangay Timalang Lumbia.
The water system project, which will benefit 300 to 500
households of the said barangays, was started in July 2012.
Labe and Timalang Lumbia are barangays which lack
supply of potable water supply.
Municipal Planning and Development Coordinator Nimfa C.
Diputado also disclosed that Ipil is one of the identified waterless
municipalities. “This is why the LGU is making efforts to help its residents
with this problem,” she added.
“Water is our priority as of this time in line with the
poverty reduction programs of the government,” she said.
The water system project is a collaborative effort of
the municipal government and the Department
of the Interior and Local Government (DILG). (PIA9)
