2014 BuB Status of Projects Potable Water Supply

BALUNGAO, PANGASINAN

The Provision of Potable Water Supply (PWS)
Level II in Balungao, Pangasinan is the only
PWS project with windmill in Region 1 under
the 2014 Bottom- Up Budgeting (BuB). The
project- Installation of One (1) Unit Deep Well
with Windmill and Rehabilitation of two (2)
Units Deep Well with Windmill is currently
benefitting 223 families of Purok 1 and Purok
IV of Barangay San Andres and Purok 1 of
Barangay Mabini, Balungao, Pangasinan.

Prior to the completion of said projects, residents
have no choice but to fetch water at open wells
which is more than 250 meters away from their
home, over a rolling terrain which is muddy
during rainy season and dustier than dusty in
summer. This resulted to many cases of
diarrhea especially among children. This
problem of no access to potable water is a
perennial problem that the people of
Mabini and San Andres want to be immediately
addressed.

Upon the completion of the BuB- PWS in the
LGU, these poor families now have access to
potable drinking water which will
improve their health and sanitation condition.
