A. Existing Water Supply Facilities and Coverage in the Municipality
1. Existing Water Facility
Majority of the water sources are Level 1 facilities, 70% are private and 30% public.
Level 1 facilities consist of open dug wells, deep/shallow wells and other doubtful sources
1 Level II Water Supply System which supplies water through communal faucets at Poblacion
East (11), Poblacion West (5), Bacolod (2) and Calasuche (7). Water peddlers are also
operating in the areas mentioned.
2. Total Population/HH with access to water supply (in all 27 barangays)
Total LGU population (2010) is 52,619
Total number of HHs is 12,181
Total number of barangays is 27
8,116.20 HHs (40,581 population) have access to water supply where majority of the sources
are Level 1 facilities
3. Total Population/HH without access to water supply (in all 27 barangays)
Based on the Community-Based Monitoring System (CBMS) Census 2012, about 33.27
percent (4,064.80 HHs) of the total households of the municipality have no access to water
supply facilities
Table 3.2 Population/HH access to water supply of sampled barangays
4. Existing Water Service Providers
Water service operation in the LGU-run Level 2 facility is 2 hours/day.
B. Water Quality Risks and Contamination
1. Water Quality Test, Treatment and Monitoring
For a long time, water quality monitoring is not conducted due to the absence of laboratory
facilities. Now, the laboratory is already functional so examination can be done.

2. Risks to Water Facilities/Systems
There is high risk of water contamination due to open defecation (OD) and technical problems
in the water facility e.g. unrepaired pipe and faucet leaks, unprotected water
sources/reservoir, proximity to septic tanks and drainage canals, among others
Level 1 sources are affected during the summer where drought is prevalent
Level 2 water facility tested positive for both E. coli and total coliform
C. Gender Sensitivity of Water Supply Facilities (to Women, Children, Senior Citizens, PWDs,
and other Vulnerable Groups)
Design of Level 2 facilities in the municipality considered basic needs of women, children,
senior citizens, etc. in terms of its location, which is in a well-lighted area; is accessible to
PWD; and has an easy open/close tap suitable for children and senior citizens.
D. Issues and Challenges on Water Access
1. Sustainability of the water facilities/systems (Levels 2 and 3)
Water facilities are not maintained. When a water source/facility is no longer functional, there
is no effort from the community to repair it. They just wait for the LGU to repair it.
Water facility/source in the LGU compound has technical problems caused by strong water
pressure resulting to pipes bursting when faucets are closed.
There are two water sources recently discovered within the LGU compound which can be
potential sources for water supply
Level 2 water facility is LGU-managed
All types of water facility are affected by disasters.
2. Financial (water tariff)
There is no water tariff
Community pays P5.00 per container to water peddlers for cooking and drinking purposes
Water peddlers are not regulated
E. Summary of Findings, Observations and Recommendations
Findings Conclusions Recommendations
There are two water
sources recently
discovered within the
LGU compound.
There is a potential water
source for level 3.
Two water facilities within the
LGU compound should be
constructed/developed
according to specifications
so that a Level 3 water
system will be available for
the barangay
Majority of Level 1
facilities are open dug
wells, therefore, doubtful
sources
Utilized hypo-chlorinator
to treat open dug wells
There is a high risk of
contamination of water
sources
Limited safe water supply
Water quality monitoring
is not conducted due to
the absence of
laboratory facilities.
There is a high risk of
contamination of water
sources.
Increase water quality

problem during summer time.
Limitation to safe water
access
Unavailability of water
encourages open
defecation
waste disposal
Community has initiative
to secure their need for
water (e.g. buying water
from peddlers, patiently
waiting for their turns to
fetch water)
Community is willing to
pay 5 pesos per container
of water
Water peddlers are not
regulated
Regulate water peddlers
(required medical certificate,
etc.)

VI. Existing Sanitation and Hygiene Conditions
A. Existing Sanitation Facilities and Access to Sanitary Toilets in the municipality
1. Total Population/HH with access to/using sanitary toilets (in all 27 barangays)
5,771 HHs (47.37%) % are using sanitary toilets
5 barangays are declared ZOD and another barangay is a candidate for ZOD
Majority of the sanitary toilets used by HHs are VIPs, and also include makeshifts, which are
also considered sanitary according to the NGO-ACF
There is limited available water in the HHs for sanitation
2. Total Population/HH without access to/using sanitary toilets (in all 27 barangays)
6,410 HHs (52.62%) are without toilets and practice open defecation
This is attributed to lack of budget in the communities to construct toilets
Informal settlers are not allowed to construct toilets. This largely contributes to incidences of
open defecation in the municipality

B. Conclusion
Sanitation Hygiene
There are 5,771 HHs (47.37%) that are using
sanitary toilets. Majority of these toilets are VIPs and
makeshifts (which are also considered as sanitary
by ACF)
6,410 HHs (52.62%) are without toilets and practice
open defecation. This is attributed to lack of budget
of communities to construct toilets
There is a high rate of open defecation due to lack
of sanitary toilets and available water. Even those
reported HHs that have sanitary toilets have also
limited to no available water supply
There is limited functional hand washing
facilities especially in schools. Most of these
facilities have no available water and are
improvised
Hand-washing facilities are also not
maintained
Low rate of hygiene practices is reported
due to lack of water supply. This correlates
with the high rate of OD reported.
16
Open defecation is high among informal settlers who
are not allowed to construct toilets
Rainwater collection is a good alternative source for
water. This should be promoted especially among
schools and public centers. Treatment of collected
rainwater should also be done to minimize risks of
infection especially among women and girls
VII. Assessing Disaster Preparedness
A. Findings
Top three (3) hazards in the municipality are the following: El Niño (drought), flooding, and
Habagat (Southwest monsoon)
Livelihood and houses are affected by natural hazards reported
Water sources are easily contaminated due to disasters
Designated evacuation centers are usually schools
Location of evacuation centers were evaluated with more than 16 toilets with separate
male/female CRS
There are no containers for emergency purposes
WASH is neglected and is rated as high risk
Level of proposition of stocks is still low because it may not be identified yet.
Evacuation was easier given the communities’ experience during and after typhoon Yolanda.
There is heightened awareness among communities in terms of emergency
Every barangay has its designated centers.
No data provided on human resources for safe water, sanitation, and hygiene
B. Recommendations
Incorporate WASH in DRRM plan
Drought resistance plants are needed
Equipment on communication is still lacking, only 5 radio handsets. All barangays should
have these sets.
Provision of rescue boats
Review and update the plan
Strengthen structure of toilets for resiliency from natural hazards
VI. Gender and Development (GAD) Mainstreaming in Project identification, Planning, and
Implementation of Safe Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene
A. Findings
Men have more access to water facilities because they are the ones that fetch water.
Women’s role is more on utilization because they cook, clean and manages the household
chores.
Women believe that they have more responsibilities than men
Fear of rape due to lack of WASH facilities
In construction of water sources women are consulted because the officers of LPRAT are
women
17
B. Conclusions
WASH is still a responsibility of women since the men are still to earn for a living.
It is still traditional but later it will be learned.
C. Recommendation
Hire male Barangay Health Workers
VIII. Governance and Institutional Building
A. Findings and Recommendations
FINDINGS RECOMMENDATIONS
Strategies
There are committees formed that
serve as advisory committees to the
mayor. Members are the department
heads. The RHU is the main unit
involved in WASH together with the
MENRO and ACF.
There is full support from the mayor. In
fact, the support of the LGU on WASH
is rated 3 out 5 (being the highest)
based on assistance given by UNICEF
and other private agencies.
Structures
The focal person(s) for WASH is the
RHU, RSI, and the MPDO (for
budgets). Projects on WASH are
implemented by the WASH committee
There should be an office for
WASH
Assign dedicated personnel in the
structure
Staffing
It was reported that WASH projects
add to the work load of midwives
CLTS officers can be tapped on
WASH
People in-charge should be
properly given honorarium
Sanitary Engineer is needed
Systems
There is a manual of operations (in
progress)
Involvement of other agencies
Other government agencies e.g.
DSWD are not involved on WASH.
Decentralization of WASH committee
or other agencies be involved
WASH task force should have
different agencies involved
Capacitate other agencies on
WASH-related technologies e.g.
water quality testing/monitoring
Funds
Allocation of funds is present. LGU has
counterpart if private organization
wishes to give support/project
BUB funds are also available
Plans
18
Barangays have plans except for
WASH Some plans are not
implemented because of politics.
Less priority is given to projects/plans
that are not affiliated with certain
political groups
There is no available local sustainable
sanitation plan
Develop a local sustainable
sanitation plan in the municipality
Skills
NGO capacitates the staff on WASH
BHWs are also capacitated on WASH
Needs further training on policy
formulation in barangays
In-service trainings are given to staff to
be updated.
If designated training should be
given, resolution must be made
that one person be designated as
SI.
WASH-related topics for dissemination:
Water Quality Monitoring
Expenditure on WASH include the ffg:
Construction of toilets
Infrastructure
Education
Health
Incentives on barangays with ZOD
Transparency
Liquidation of Budget - some
barangays are not properly submitting
reports especially those barangays that
do not share the same political
interests of the current LCE "
Reporting
Barangays report to the MHU
Other Recommendations
Institutionalize WASH projects
Assign dedicated personnel in the structure
Sanitary Engineer is needed
Capacity building
Organize BWASAs. Tap community organizations to strengthen WASH
Development of water sources should be properly implemented
On PPP
Private hospitals
General merchandize where toilet bowls are purchased
Microfinance
Potential partners:
General merchandizers can be tapped for the project e.g. materials for construction of
toilet bowls
Hospital staff can also be tapped for the project
Voucher system – HH bring check to hardware for toilet bowls, nails etc. (LGU)
19
Summary of Wash Situation
Water quality monitoring is a problem
Education on sanitation is sufficient
Institutionalization is needed
On issues related to disaster, – political but WASH should be emphasized
Disaster Management Plan should be revised and WASH should be included
Governance – supported and structure should be given importance
