Water constraint is a global problem that afflicts both developing and developed countries. More than a fourth, 2.1 out of 7.5 billion people worldwide still lack safely managed drinking water. This water shortage is the result of rapid population growth and poor governance that led to failure to put up the necessary water supply infrastructure and systems to meet the growing demand for water of a rapidly increasing population. In the Philippines, 9 million out of 101 million Filipinos still suffer from unimproved, unsafe and unsustainable water sources. Inadequate and intermittent water supply afflicts not only rural areas and low-income urban cities but also even the foremost urban center, Metro Manila. Governance issues and inefficiencies of government-managed water utilities result in poor access to adequate water both in terms of quantity and quality. Relying heavily on primary data collection methods - focus group discussion, key informant interview and a comprehensive household survey, this paper looks into the water provision aspect of the Philippine government's housing program. Despite a stated imperative for adequate water provision in government housing program, failure of the designated water utility to put up the necessary water supply infrastructure that could meet the water requirements of the resident households results in several unmonitored small-scale water suppliers of highly-priced but poor quality water. The survey of household water purchases reveal that households buying water from the alternative small-scale water suppliers (neighbors with jetmatic pump wells and water tankers) pay more than 5-times but consume just about half of the consumption of those already served by the water utility, reflecting an overly constrained consumption that has wide-ranging health and well-being implications.

Introduction
Water constraint is a global problem that afflicts both developing and developed countries (Lu et al, 2017). Up until 2018, 844 million still lacked basic water services (United Nations, 2018), representing more than a tenth (11.25%) of the estimated 7.5 billion world population (US Census Bureau, 2018). A much greater number - 2.1 billion, roughly 28% of people worldwide, lacked safely managed drinking water. This continuing and worsening water shortage is the result of rapid population growth (Falkenmark, 1990)...

Setting User Charges for Urban Water Supply: A Case Study of the Metropolitan Cebu Water District in the PhilippinesShare this page.  This paper gives an example of the kind of tariff review that could be the basis of policy discussions, and also of project design and analysis.
The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has a sound position on user charges, a position that should guide ADB's policy discussions with borrowing governments. ADB's practice in reviewing tariffs covers only a few parts of ADB's position, though, limiting ADB's potential effectiveness in helping to improve policies. This paper gives an example of the kind of tariff review that could be the basis of policy discussions, and also of project design and analysis. The tariff of the Metropolitan Cebu Water District in the Philippines is used as an example, because the tariff meets and even goes beyond ADB's position, and is a good model for other water tariffs to follow. The example should be useful to project teams at ADB doing sector studies and processing loans in urban water supply. The paper might also be useful to governments in ADB's developing member countries, and to partner foreign aid organizations, to help them understand ADB's position and good practice in urban water supply.

 Title: Rural Water Supply in the Philippines – Volume I “Design Manual” Contributor: NULL Languages: English Type: Document Region: East Asia and Pacific (EAP) Country: Philippines Sectors: Water and Sanitation Topics: Pro-poor Keywords: Sector , Operation and Maintenance , Municipal
The Rural Water Supply – Volume I “Design Manual” is the first of three volumes from the Small Water Providers Work for the Poor project funded by the Water Partnership Program that provides key concepts and guidance in the design of small waterworks facilities in the Philippines. This manual is a ready resource for owners, operators, technical staff, consultants, government planners and contractors. It also aims to provide assistance to non-technical readers involved in the management and operation of small water supply systems. Its overarching goal is to help these groups to better understand the nature of the water supply business, its responsibilities to stakeholders, and the role of government agencies and regulatory bodies toward sustainable operations. It also itends to facilitate participation in the planning and decision-making of more effective water systems in rural areas and small towns in the Philippines. The handbook is well-received by stakeholders. Endorsed by the President of the Philippines, it was widely distributed on March 22, 2012 during a World Water Day event in Manila involving high-level officials and the World Bank's Country Director. The Government is supporting further dissemination efforts. Click here for link to SlideShow on Rural Water System in the Philippines.

Case Study: Municipal Water Supply In The Philippines
 Water is one of the necessities of life, and water utilities must meet extremely demanding standards of reliability. They use only the highest quality, most reliable equipment – and in Mindanao, Philippines, the municipal water utilities use AuCom soft starters.  Each application is different, so LRCA TRADING INC. particularly appreciates the adjustable protection and choice of starting profiles. These allow the soft starter to meet the precise needs of each application. Key benefits for the water authorities include:
LRCA TRADING INC. are so pleased with the performance of AuCom soft starters that they now make them a standard part of every pumping and motor installation. Engineer Art Davis is an enthusiastic advocate: "In terms of cost, size and functionality, the CSXi is absolutely ideal. The combination of protection and control makes it the perfect cost-effective solution for our customers." Privacy Policy | Change Region Information

Topbar Menu EN Philippines: Pro-Water: Policies, Infrastructure and Behaviors for Improved Water and Sanitation SDGs ADDRESSED Project Partners The joint programme targeted impoverished and water-scarce areas in the Philippines in the Local Government Units of Basud, Capalonga, Aroroy, Cawayan, Milagros, Monreal, Bobon, Mapanas, Siayan, and Sindangan to increase access to clean water and sanitation, while encouraging good hygiene and sanitation practices at the household level, as well as in schools, health centres and public spaces.  A woman in a “waterless” municipality fetching water from a well 2. SITUATIONLack of access to potable water and poor sanitation have had an impact on socioeconomic development, livelihoods, well-being and health in Philippines. A rapid decline in water quality due to pollution, poor sanitation and the large number of people who still have to resort to open defecation is a cause for urgent attention, with an estimated 31% of rural communities practicing open defecation in the Philippines in 2014. Women and girls are disproportionately affected as water, sanitation and hygiene are inextricably linked with their reproductive and economic roles, as well as their safety, dignity and agency. With an estimated 30 agencies playing different roles water resources management, water supply and sanitation, fragmentation can occur in policymaking, planning and programming on safe water, sanitation and hygiene making coordination challenging. 3. STRATEGYThe joint programme developed and implemented an integrated approach to improve governance of and access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene in six so called “waterless” provinces (where less than 50% of households have access to safe water). Targeted gender-sensitive solutions benefited local households and communities, improved capacities of schools and health centres; and generated key data to inform policy, planning and capacity building.  Girls from a “waterless” municipality helping load water into cart to take home 4. RESULTS AND IMPACTThe development of the “Integrated Safe Water, Sanitation and Hygiene” (iWaSH) framework laid the foundation for pursuing a coordinated and harmonized approach to safe water, sanitation and hygiene at the local level. It was adopted nationally by the Department of the Interior and its local implementation supported by all 16 Regional Water and Sanitation Hubs established under previous MDG Fund supported interventions which provided training and support to Local Government Units and other local partners. IWaSH is now recognized as a priority in the water safety plans of the 10 Local Government Units and quantified in medium and long-term targets (5-10 years), including the increasing of targets for access to safe water to from 68% to 97% of the local population and access to sanitation and hygiene from 68% to 100%. At the local level, improvements in water quality, monitoring and planning were realized through the formulation of water quality and risk assessment plans, capacity development on sanitation programming, formulation of local policies to support Zero Open Defecation and the provision of water quality testing kits. Low cost sanitation technologies were also introduced in all targeted Local Government Units. At the time of the final evaluation, 37 barangays in six municipalities in two provinces had been declared “open defecation free.” Gender mainstreaming was promoted in all aspects of programme planning, decision-making, monitoring and implementation. In total, 3,277 women participated in programme activities, including in the conducting of assessments and data validation, planning, resource allocation, monitoring and evaluation, sanitation programming, community organizing/social preparation activities, and in communications and advocacy on iWaSH. with water-borne diseases. Lack of access to water and sanitation had an impact on socioeconomic development, livelihoods, well-being and health 5. CHALLENGESThe Philippines is noted is frequently noted as one of the countries most vulnerable to climate change in the world. Super Typhoon Haiyan of 2013 was the one of the strongest cyclones recorded in the country’s history. More than 6,000 people lost their lives and another 4.1 million people were displaced, including 1.7 million children. On average 8-9 tropical storms make landfall in Philippines each year. With damage to infrastructure including sanitation and water supply as well as potential protracted displacement, access to safe water and sanitation decreases and the risk of potential outbreaks in water-borne diseases increases as a result.  Mayor of Siayan Municipality, Flora Villarosa at the launch of the Pro Water joint programme 6. LESSONS LEARNEDProgramme results show that that solutions to improve water, hygiene and sanitation cannot be separated from one another.
 A boy is refilling his water bottle 7. SUSTAINABILITY AND POTENTIAL FOR REPLICATIONBehavioural change campaigns have been a central component to the technical solutions provided. More resources, investment in infrastructure and necessary technologies, technical assistance and sustainable financing solutions are needed to ensure that changes made in policy and planning can continue to have an impact on the ground, with some regions requiring more support than others.
