00:03 Five years have passed but the water project in Aguilar, Pangasinan is still not used.
00:08 Residents have already blamed this on your Aksyon Man.
00:12 [Music]
00:15 2019, the water project of DPWH Pangasinan Second District Engineering Office in Aguilar, Pangasinan was completed.
00:24 But residents in Barangay Buer are still complaining that they are not benefiting from the project.
00:30 We already have a tank but it is not working.
00:34 We are really affected because we are just relying on the well.
00:40 The well is clear but after 10 minutes, the water is freezing.
00:45 Residents have been having problems supplying water to the area for several years.
00:49 Our well is already poor. You can only get a few buckets, four or two.
00:58 And if there is a strong well, we are there to drink and bathe.
01:05 So they ask, when will the DPWH water project be used?
01:11 We hope that we can have water again.
01:17 Your Aksyon Man in DPWH Pangasinan Second District Engineering Office and in the Municipal Engineering Office of Aguilar, Pangasinan has already completed.
01:27 The project was completed. We turned it over to the LGU as an operational project.
01:32 It so happened that we will not be able to enter the houses.
01:38 We will only be able to enter the water meter, the main line to the water meter.
01:43 It is operational but it has not been used for five years.
01:49 So there are defects that are coming out.
01:52 Although the contractor is still under warranty, that is why they are still doing it.
01:57 I cannot explain it because I am a former municipal engineer and former mayor.
02:02 But we are already utilizing it.
02:05 But the leaks are the problem.
02:08 According to the local government of Aguilar, Pangasinan,
02:13 As far as I know, they already have meters that are waiting.
02:17 So we will be the only ones to install them to the houses.
02:20 We have a budget for that.
02:22 We also have lists of people willing to connect.
02:26 We will install them once the leakage is fixed.
02:29 Because the leaks are still being done.
02:32 Once the pipes are rehabilitated, residents will be able to supply water.
02:39 We look forward to the local government of Aguilar, Pangasinan's response.
02:46 For your updates, send it to the Kapuso Action Man Facebook page.
02:50 Because to complain, abuse or trust, there is a direct action to your Kapuso Action Man.
