Lim commits to attend to environment
City
Mayor Dan N. Lim yesterday assured to include in his major
thrust the need for environmental protection to be strictly
implemented in the city.
He
assured that the much- delayed water treatment plant will
be constructed after he is scheduled to invite the Mactan
Water Rock group, the same entity which completed the water
treatment plant in Panglao island.
He
said that aside from this treatment plant, he ordered yesterday
the reopening of the Dampas dumping site for garbage coming
from Panglao which will eventually solve the problem on garbage
disposal in the resort island.
The
reopening of the dumpsite for Panglao wastes came in response
to the request made by Gov. Erico Aumentado last Friday.

The
construction of a water treatment facility is deemed
necessary for the newly completed drainage system to
be operational. Flooding has been observed in some areas
in the city during heavy rains due to the non-functional
system.
The
public clamor for a water treatment plant came as the
only protection to save the clean seawaters at the Tagbilaran
City Port where the water outfall is located, one along
Graham Ave., near the gasoline depot and the other somewhere
in Manga district, this city.

Lim
said that he will fast track the treatment plant as Hanjin
Construction will turnover the project within next month.
