Cebu City Acting Mayor Raymond Alvin Garcia signed the long-pending excavation permits requested by the Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) on Monday, May 27, 2024.

THE Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) has to wait further before it can start distributing desalinated waters to its consumers.

CEBU City Mayor Michael Rama is pushing for a separate water district for each local government unit (LGU) currently being serviced by the Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD).
