(UPDATED WITH CORRECTIONS) WITH their dispute on the price of water unresolved, the water supply distributed by the Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) in two cities and three towns in Metro Cebu could be affected if its bulk surface water supply provider, Cebu Manila Water Development Inc. (CMWD), stops its operations at the Luyang River in Carmen town in northern Cebu.

[CORRECTIONS: This story published on SunStar website on January 10, 2023 was updated the following day with some corrections. In Paragraph 7, only one of the two desalinated bulk water suppliers (not two as stated earlier) has initially started delivering desalinated water this year.

The line "which they had started remitting in 2015" was also removed from the third to the last paragraph, as CMWD had not started remitting money to the Province in 2015, contrary to what was earlier reported.

Paragraphs 20 and 21 were also rewritten to clarify that an amount has yet to be set as to the contract price adjustment and Neda doesn’t have to agree to the adjustment but only needs to be furnished a copy of the required documents.]
