Capitol allocates P50M for water system rehab in Borbon

June 07, 2026

The Freeman

As part of its thrust toward local development, the Cebu provincial government has earmarked P50 million for the rehabilitation of the Borbon Water System (BWS).

- Jona Mariel Apurado, CNU Intern/MRM

The financial assistance will help address the water supply shortage the town has been experiencing for over four months since the termination of the joint venture agreement between the local government unit (LGU) and a private water service provider.

In January 2026, the management of BWS fell under the LGU after the municipal council terminated the agreement with the private water service provider due to claims that the company had long failed to provide clean water to the community.

The dispute resulted in legal action and months-long water supply problems in the town.
