THE Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) announced that it lacked 330 million liters or 330,000 cubic meters of water supply per day to accommodate the needs of its consumers within its franchise area.
MCWD serves Cebu City, Mandaue City, Lapu-Lapu City, Talisay City, and the towns of Consolacion, Liloan, Compostela and Cordova.
Lawyer Jose Daluz III, chairman of the Board of Directors of MCWD, said the increase in demand for water due to the economic growth in Cebu has resulted in the lack of water supply.
The water district is currently producing 232 million liters of water per day (MLD), which is short of the needed water supply of around 600 MLD. (PAC, TPT)
