Residents urged: Harvest rainwater
The Freeman
|December 08, 2025
Cebu City Mayor Nestor Archival Sr. is urging residents to embrace rainwater harvesting, especially this December, to supplement seasonal supply shortages, calling it both a “practical and symbolic act of love for the city.”
-
“Rainwater is abundant. Your Cebu City Government is urging all residents to catch this blessing — free water that nature gives us,” Archival said.
He explained that by simply collecting rainwater at home, households can save on water bills, reduce flooding in their areas, and help Cebu move closer to its vision of a Sustainable, Smart, and Livable Cebu City by 2035.
Archival stressed that small actions from each household add up to a big contribution to the city’s future.
“Let’s use water wisely. Let’s work together for a better Cebu,” he added.
