The Patnongon Water District (WD) in Antique continues the improvement and expansion of its water supply system to provide more reliable and accessible water services to previously unserved areas in Barangay La Rioja and Barangay Mabasa.

The project includes the installation of production wells and pumping facilities, approximately 4,400 meters of distribution pipelines, and 200 service connections and water meters to strengthen system capacity, improve water pressure, and expand access to potable water within the service area.

Production wells located in Brgy. La Rioja and Brgy. Mabasa, each with a depth of 12 meters, are equipped with submersible motor pumps and pumping stations designed to enhance water distribution and service reliability.

This project underscores LWUA’s commitment to supporting Water Districts such as Patnongon WD in improving water accessibility and strengthening service reliability for the communities they serve.
