HISTORY OF MONCADA WATER DISTRICT
The Moncada Water District was formed on February
8, 1978 by virtue of the local
Sangguniang Bayan Resolution No. 10 and was issued CCC No. 060 on July
28, 1978 by the Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA), by virtue of their
powers vested by PD 198.
The district has an existing water supply system serving 76% area
coverage in the Municipality of Moncada. There are about 4,050 households
service with potable water in the following Barangays, namely; Poblacion 1 to 4,
Capaoayan, Camangaan East and West, Camposanto 1 Norte, Camposanto 1 & 2 Sur,
San Julian, Sta. Maria, Rizal, Mabini, Burgos, Maluac, San Pedro, San Juan,
Lapsing, Aringin, Villa, San leon and Calamay and recent expansions, Baquero
Sur, Baquero Norte, Tolega Norte and Tolega Sur.
The Moncada Water System consists of six ( 6 ) deep wells equipped with
submersible pumps, an old elevated concrete storage tank, two ( 2 ) elevated
steel tanks and pipeline network.
The Moncada WD also serves about 804 households in Municipality of San
Manuel. The San Manuel Water System, on the other hand, consists of a deep well
and an elevated steel storage tank, transmission and distribution facilities
servicing 55% area coverage.
The District operates on a 24/7 service routine on its two offices and
manned by 18 permanent employees.
The district management and policy making functions were taken over twice
by LWUA in 1984 to 1985 and in 1992 to 1993. Financially, the district was
ill-prepared when the first IIP loan started to be amortized in 1992. Even upon
the second takeover, debt servicing defaults continued. Thus, in June 1993 LWUA
extended another financial assistance by converting the district debt servicing
arrears into 1.678 M Level III loan. Under the aforesaid arrears and
restructuring agreement, the district implemented two-stage water increase
schedule, first April 1995 and second in January 1997. This enabled the district
to update its payments to LWUA and subsequently in succeeding years and was
classified as CREDIT-WORTHY WATER DISTRICT and nominated Outstanding Water
District in Average Category in 2006 and 2008.
Through hard work and dedication of its personnel, MWD has been able to
withstand the hardship and challenges of times and made wise use of its
resources to achieve its goal and
objectives in providing the best water service to the people of Moncada and San
Manuel, Tarlac.
