The Sibalom Water District has advised residents from the San Jose de Buenavista, Antique that water in the area is still not potable, after it was contaminated by a chemical substance last week.
The agency advised consumers not to drink tap water from faucets. The water district serves 2,700 households in 14 barangays of Sibalom.
Jonathan de Gracia, general manager of the Sibalom Water District, said in an interview on Wednesday that they are following up the results of the water analysis by the Central Philippine University in Iloilo City.
“We are advising our consumers to refrain from drinking or using it for cooking until we get the result,” De Gracia said.
Last Thursday, the reservoir in Barangay Pasong in Sibalom was contaminated with a chemical substance, possibly by a prankster. The water district had to cleanse the reservoir and build a barb wire fence around it.
De Gracia said the incident had been reported to the police.
