STATE-RUN Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System
(MWSS) has formed a task force to oversee the full takeover of the
water systems of subdivisions and housing projects to restrain
excessive water fees in these areas.
Lorenzo H. Jamora, MWSS
administrator, appointed Edgardo Q. Esteban to head the task force,
which will monitor and review the plans and issue the necessary
certifications for putting up water systems for new subdivisions and
housing projects, pursuant to Executive Order 688.
President Arroyo issued EO 688 to
ensure that the provisions of the Presidential Decree 1345, which
allows the MWSS to take over the water systems of private
subdivisions and other housing projects, are implemented.
Before Malacaņang issued the
directive, private subdivision residents have complained that
developers were charging exorbitant fees.
