DENR prods LGUs on water treatment facility
Excerpt
The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Calabarzon (Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal and Quezon) urged the local government units (LGUs) to give priority to building wastewater treatment facilities. DENR Regional Executive Director Maria Paz Luna said cities and municipalities in the region should include in their Annual Investment Plan (AIP) the installation of such facilities for budget allocations. Luna said there are practically no water treatment systems in the LGUs in the region and only industries and some subdivisions comply with the requirement.
