ILIGAN City ― A landslide here disrupted the water connections some more on, the morning of Monday, Feb. 5.
It was learned that big rocks fell from the cliffs above at Purok Santan, Santa Felomina barangay overlooking the highway.
City Councilor Ramil Emborong, the chair of the Sangguniang Panlungsod Committee on Public Order and Safety said that this is a great risk to people and vehicles passing through that portion of the highway, even as he too expressed his concern over residential houses located near such cliff as they too are only a few hundred meters away from the area.
So he said on air that he has authored a resolution in the SP session Tuesday to convince the owners of those houses to relocate even as the city will do something to provide relocation sites for them.
The landslide resulted in additional challenges in the overall water distribution problem which had been plagued for over two weeks now since the Systems 3 connection which has its source at barangay Suarez this city at Sitio Abaga from Admain spring had the pipes there exploding three times and engineers from the Iligan City Waterworks Systems and even from the private sector had been kept busy analyzing and repairing them.
It was then learned that Systems 3 comprise 36 percent of the population serviced by the ICWS.
