HE Bacolod City Council has passed a resolution requesting the Bacolod City Water District (Baciwa) to assign tellers at the rural villages to make it more convenient and faster for the consumers to pay their bills.
The councilors -- with Councilor El Cid Familiaran, who authored the resolution -- believed that the Baciwa Board and management should come up with innovative ways to help consumers pay their water bills in strategic areas so they do not have to wait for hours. aciwa should assign tellers, even just for half a day once a week, in the barangay halls of strategic rural villages in Bacolod City to facilitate water bill payments, the resolution stated. A considerable number of water consumers come from rural villages like Alangilan, Granada, Vista Alegre, and Estefania. These consumers will be grateful to Baciwa if the water utility can make payment of water bills more convenient for them. Central Negros Electric Cooperative has already implemented such strategy by assigning tellers once a week for one and a half day in the barangay hall of every barangay in the city. Meanwhile, the City Council also approved a resolution inquiring from the City Engineer's Office the present status of construction and repair of certain bridge projects of the city and to update the council of the projects' development. These projects, which have been started in March and April 2010, include the rehabilitation and construction of the Banago bridge, the construction of the Alijis-Taculing bridge and road, and the construction of a road and a bridge at Gatuslao Extension connecting Barangay 1 and Barangay Mandalagan. The construction and repair of these bridges have been prioritized by the City Government and there is an urgent necessity to finish them to avoid inconvenience to the general public, the resolution stated.
