ILOILO CITY -- The number of residents in Iloilo City affected by water scarcity due to the El Niño phenomenon has drastically increased, according to Engr. Neil Ravena, head of the General Services Office and City Environment and Natural Resources Office.
Ravena said that Mayor Jerry Treñas is already aware that there are already close to 18,000 residents in the city who are affected by water scarcity.
He noted that three deep wells in Muelle Loney, City Proper have already ran dry.
Treñas is set to call for a meeting this week with the members of the disaster council to discuss the possibility of declaring a State of Calamity due to water scarcity in the city.
Ravena observed that the city needs to augment water from other sources to avoid or prevent the spread of diseases.
