The Danao City Government in Cebu has been operating a P418.65-million bulk water system without the necessary permits from the Department of Health. Officials confirmed the system is in use but lacks the required authorizations. The system serves as a primary water source for the city.
The Department of Health has not yet issued permits for the system, raising concerns about compliance with health regulations. The city government has not provided a timeline for obtaining the required approvals. The system was reportedly constructed without prior health department clearance.
The issue highlights regulatory gaps in infrastructure projects. Local authorities have not yet addressed the lack of permits. The situation underscores the need for stricter oversight in public health infrastructure. The city remains reliant on the system despite the legal concerns.
