Residents and farmers in Sitio Nagtenga are expected to benefit from improved water access following the blessing and turnover of a newly completed water system project in Dingras on 20 May.
The project is designed to irrigate approximately five hectares of farmland while also providing a reliable domestic water supply to households in the community, which residents said had long suffered from water scarcity.
Completed facilities include a 2.103-kilometer pipeline, 11 turnouts equipped with gate valves, a water tank, and an end-check structure intended to ensure efficient water distribution for both agricultural and residential use.
The turnover ceremony was attended by local officials, barangay leaders, and community members, including Dingras Mayor Joemelle Saguid Go Sy and Division Manager Engr. Joselito C. de Vera.
During the program, De Vera highlighted the importance of the project in improving agricultural productivity and enhancing the quality of life of residents through better access to water resources.
Beneficiaries expressed gratitude for the completion of the project, saying the new water system is expected to ease irrigation problems among farmers while providing a long-term solution to the community’s domestic water needs.
