New city offices to impose rules on sewerage connection
TO MAXIMIZE the use of the Baguio City sewerage treatment plant (STP), Councilor Leandro Yangot Jr. suggested Tuesday that the present organizational set-up of the City Government should reflect which department is in charge of the STP following the partial re-organization of some departments at the City Hall last year.
With the dissolution of the Public Utilities and Services Office (Puso) and its functions transferred to the newly formed City Environment and Parks Management Office (Cepmo) and to the City Engineers Office (CEO), Yangot said the departments, including the City Building and Architecture Office (CBAO), now have to ensure that those applying for building permits have to be connected to the city's sewer system.
Yangot proposed that for new structures situated within the 66 barangays serviced by the city's sewerage system, the CBAO, through the building official, should submit all building permit applications to the Cepmo for documentation and implementation of the national law that imposes mandatory connection to the sewerage system for treatment of waste at the STP.
He said no occupancy permit would be issued by the building official if the owner of a new structure fails to present a certificate of sewer connection from the Cepmo. (RO)
