ENRILE, Cagayan – The Department of Public Works and Highways-Cagayan Third District Engineering Office (DPWH-CTDEO) is halfway done with the construction of a water supply project in Barangay Roma Sur here.
District Engineer Mariano B. Malupeng said construction of the P4.9-million project started on April 27.
The water system includes a source, a reservoir, a piped distribution network, and individual taps that can benefit all households in the barangay.
The DPWH said the construction of a sustainable water system will be a big help for residents since the majority of households still have no access to safe, adequate, and potable water.
This will also help prevent waterborne diseases, it added.
