The
Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) has completed the construction and is ready
to turn-over a Potable Water Supply
System (Level II) project at barangay Sta. Barbara, a component barangay of Eastern
Iguig Agrarian Reform Community (Eastern Iguig ARC) in Iguig, Cagayan.
The Eastern
Iguig ARC Potable Water Supply project
was funded by the Agrarian Reform Infrastructure Project III
(ARISP-III)-Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) and the Local Government Unit
(LGU) of Iguig, Cagayan with a total project cost of P3,707,530.73 and is
expected to benefit some 647 agrarian reform beneficiary households.
The potable
water system in the ARC will significantly decrease the incidence of
water-borne diseases among school children. It will also provide water for
vegetable gardening activities and opportunities for rural enterprises among
farming households in the area resulting to increase in income. cds/mtb
