INTRODUCTION
The Himamaylan Water District was created on June 26, 1979 pursuant to Sangguniang Bayan Resolution No.
19, series of 1979. It was issued a Conditional Certificate of Conformance (CCC) No. 102 on November 13,
1979 by the Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA). Himamaylan Water District was considered Quasi-
public Corporation with the implementation of the Province Water Utilities Act of 1973 otherwise known as
Presidential Decree (PD) 198.
On September 13, 1991, Supreme Court decision was promulgate declaring all water districts as government-
owned and controlled corporations performing public service and supplying public wants subject to the usual
mandatory review and examination by the national government. From then on, the life in the district
experienced the transition as it adjusts according to the government rules and regulations of the Civil Service
Commission (CSC), Commission on Audit (COA) and the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS).
In 1995, Himamaylan Water District was categorized as Small Water District with the issuance of Position
Allocation List (PAL) approving twenty-three(23) positions and it was recategorized from Small to Medium
Category effective June 1, 2007. The DBM approved PAL NO. 2007-06-01 consisting of 27 positions. Pursuant
to the Revised Local Water District Manual on Categorization was based on a two-stage process: service
connection and pointing rating category, whichever is lower.
Water source are coming from 9 deep/shallow wells in various places (Llamas, Libacao, Pamandayan(1 and
2), Guia, NAWASA, Reservoir and Cagay). There is one spring located at Da-at/Bungol. The total rated capacity
of wells including spring is 107 lps more or less. The Transmission-Distribution lines in various sizes extends
to 39 kilometers in all serving areas. The underground concrete reservoir was built with a capacity of 300
cubic meters. The water treatment structure is 3-stage natural aeration/rapid sand filtration structure. There
are six (6) pumping stations operational with chlorinators installed and 5 satellites booster chlorinators in
strategic areas.
As of December 2016, Himamaylan Water District caters 5,452 water service connections with an average
water production of 3,200 m³ daily. Himamaylan Water District is now serving 16 out of 19 Barangays in the
City of Himamaylan.
Himamaylan Water District (HWD) formulated the Water Safety Plan (WSP) to secure its supplied water from
contamination. Through this, hazardous events observed in operations and facilities would be reduced. By the
implementation of Water Safety Plan (WSP), Himamaylan Water District (HWD) can produce a clear, safe and
good water quality to the public consumers. It aims to have a systematic and organized individual water
distribution to thoroughly monitor and evaluate the leakages of the pipelines. Through Water Safety Plan
(WSP), according to World Health Organization (WHO) and Department of Health (DOH), water will be far
from microbial growth and could be protected from unauthorized events. HWD will have ground supplies
that undergo thorough WSP process, and water supply will be consistent. Himamaylan Water District (HWD)
would have a water treatment for ensuring the quality of supplied water. Himamaylan Water District (HWD)
will be ensuring the satisfaction of the consumers, through managing and assessment of risks and potential
incidents through various plans and strategies.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The City of Himamaylan is a coastal city that lays in mid-western part of Negros Occidental, 77 kilometer south of
capital city which is Bacolod City. Himamaylan City is bounded in the north by the Municipality of Binalbagan, in the
74
east by Negros Oriental, in the south by the City of Kabankalan and in the west by the part of Gulf Panay. Himamaylan
City contains 19 barangays, 16 of it are covered by HWD and 5445 active service connection in the present, with an
overall total of 38,157-hectare land areas. The continuous increase of consumers means water supply remains a
necessity, thus, construction of more deep wells and pumping stations are currently required for a sufficient water
supply.
Himamaylan Water District (HWD) vision is to deliver adequate potable and safe water drinking to the consumers and
sustaining the needs of city’s 19 barangays. Himamaylan Water District makes deep wells and pump lines so they can
supply water to the barangays. However, in the late 1930s, Bongol and Da-at springs were just its main source of
water which was utilized to served Poblacion, and part of Barangay Carabalan, Aguisan, and Saraet.
In 1960, the National Water and Sewerage Authority (NAWASA) were established as an additional source of supply.
Water supplies were cut-off in barangay Aguisan and Saraet and construction of an infiltration gallery with a pumping
station to serve new-isolates system was made on 1965. Operation of water system was then under National Water
and Sewerage Authority (NAWASA) until its dissolution in 1971, when the management of the system was turn over
to the municipal government of Himamaylan.
The Himamaylan Water District was formed and issued its Conditional Certificate of Conformance (CCC) from the
Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA). Actual turnover of the operations and management was made in
December, 1979. In 1981, the Himamaylan Water District was deferred. From 1982 and after EDSA Revolution in
1986, the Himamaylan Water District was reactivated and has been operating up to present, thus, the Himamaylan
Water District has been growing steadily.
Currently, Himamaylan Water District (HWD) sets more pipelines, deep wells, and pumping stations in the city
premises. With the use of National Water and Sewerage Authority (NAWASA) and other water sources that were
constructed, additional pipelines were installed to spread water supplies to the barangays. Through those activities,
Himamaylan Water District (HWD) would be able to provide sufficient water consumption to the consumers, also it
can ensure the quality of the water delivered to the consuming publics and can prevent the recontamination of its
treated water during storage, and also during the distribution and handling of water until it reaches the consumers. In
addition, some existing water sources of Himamaylan Water District are Llamas Pumping Station, Buenavista
Pumping Station, Libacao Pumping Station, Reservoir, Pamandayan Pumping Station, Cagay, Guia Pumping Station
and Ruiz Pumping Station.
The water system was originally constructed in late 1930s. The Himamaylan Water District is situated at western
portion of Negros Island, particularly 77 kilometer south of Bacolod City, and it covers a total land area of 38,157
hectares subdivided into 19 barangays. HWD supplies water in 16 barangays out of 19, and 5445 number of service
connection which increases rapidly according to the consumers’ use. The spring water sources supply 9 liters per
second and wells of 105 liters per second. It has a capacity storage rate facilities of 300 mᶾ, and a total of 921, 440 mᶾ
water produced based on the current survey. Due to the increase of number of consumers, deep wells, pipelines and
pumping stations are established; with this, the water system can sustain the need of the consumers. The water
consumed by the public starts form the water source through the supply stations. The water process goes through the
transmission meter and flows to the pipe lines going to the pumping stations and then subdivided to all barangays.

A. Water Source
Himamaylan City is divided into two general topographic features; the lowland, founded along the coastal area and
within the delta formed by Binalbagan River in the north; and the dominant hilly to mountainous region located in the
east and south of Poblacion. Himamaylan Water District has already originated the Da-at/Bungol Spring to be one of
their main sources of water.
DA-AT/BONGOL SPRING is located about fourteen kilometers east of Poblacion. Da-at spring has two spring box with
about one kilometer distance connected by a 3” diameter pipe line, that discharges about 4 liters per second of water.
It also has four wells and an infiltration gallery. Bongol spring has about 2 kilometer distance from spring box no. 1 of
Da-at spring. Bongol spring has a catching basin to collect water from the spring which has a multi-source of water
from a cavern. The water passes from gravel filter to the collecting tank. The output water from the collecting tank is
about 10 liters per second. A 4” diameter cast iron pipe, about nine kilometers long traversing from rivers to hilly top
of land formation, is used until it reaches Barangay Carabalan, the first barangay recipient of this water system with
about 10,000 population. The excess water is conveyed to different pipe lines with sizes ranging from 4” to 3” to
Poblacion of Himamaylan City to a 300 cubic meter size reservoir that stores water.
B. Ground Water
Ground water area is located in sedimentary formation. Several springs and wells are founded in the city. The
prominent spring in the area is Da-at spring which is being utilized by the Himamaylan Water District (HWD). It has
74
the capacity of about 2 liters per second; however, it cannot sustain the water requirement in the delineated service
area until the design year. Other springs are of small capacities and being utilized by some barangay residents. Wells
in the study have depth which ranges from as shallow as 9 meter to as deep as 182 meter. Shallow wells are mostly
found in lowland areas. Static water level ranges from 1meter to 10 meter below ground level.
In March 1988 a geo-resistivity survey conducted and revealed that good aquifers can be found in the upland vicinity
of about 300 meter east of the Poblacion. This was subsequently confirmed by the test well drilling conducted in
August 1998. The aquifers were found at depths of 81 to 96 meters and 133 to 180 meters.
Currently, NAWASA, the first well-constructed in 1960 with a capacity of 21 liters per second, seconded by Llamas
well in 1979 with a capacity of 20 liters per second, have been serving the Poblacion composed of 7 Barangays with a
total of two thousand five hundred concessioners in 2005. The water district acquired a loan from Local Water
Utilities Administration (LWUA) through Small Town Water Supply Project (STWSSP) worth 28 million pesos, which
was used to construct two wells: the Libacao Pumping Station with a capacity of 20 liters per second, which could
boost up to 5 liters per second, Aguisan Infiltration Gallery pumping station serves the Aguisan, Saraet and Punta
Talaban with a total of three thousand concessioners; and the Pamandayan Buenavista well with a capacity of 7 liters
per second which also serves a population of 12,000 and 700 concessioners through 19 kilometers of various sizes of
pipe lines. In 2012, another loan was acquired from Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA) amounting to 15
million pesos, which gave way to NLIF project where Ruiz Pumping Station was constructed with a capacity of 20 liter
per second. This pumping station has 5,000 kilometers pipeline which serves barangay Talaban, part of Aguisan and
upgrading to 2 kilometers of water transmission and distribution line.

C. Distribution System
The water Distribution of Himamaylan Water District has three different isolated areas; the first stage of water source covers the
spring stations namely, Llamas Pumping Station, NAWASA and Reservoir Pumping Station. The spring transmission line is about 18
kilometers of 4” and 3” diameter, with old pipes made of cast iron or CI and the new ones made of PVC. The spring is located about
300 meters above sea level; however, pipes traversing rivers are mostly a problem during rainy season because of flash floods that
produces heavy currents which cut the pipes. Air release valves were installed in pipes at different places to release trapped air and
break water pressure. Riser pipes were also installed for concessionaires along the transmission lines. A line booster chlorinator
has been installed to augment chlorine residue before it reaches the concessionaires.
The Llamas Pumping Station with 200 millimeter diameter transmission line of about 1.6 kilometer conveys 30 liters per second of
water but because of pungent odor, water is aerated at water treatment plant before it is used by concessionaires. A flow meter
was installed along the discharge line of Llamas Pumping Station to determine its daily production.
The NAWASA with 2” diameter pipe line of about 600 meters long discharges 3 liters per second and the Bajay PS which pumps 15
liters per second were all discharged in reservoir water treatment plant. After it passes the water treatment plant, it goes to the
distribution box where a series of piping were connected. Excess water is stored in reservoir and during peak hours the reservoir
supplies water. It is a fill and draw type reservoir. In the distribution box, a 200 millimeter and 150 millimeter diameter
transmission lines were connected. This 200 millimeter diameter line supplies Barangay 4 in the north side of Talaban and at the
south side of Barangay Caradio-an with about 12 kilometers of water distribution line. On the other hand, combination of 150
millimeter and 100 millimeter diameter transmission lines about 5 kilometers supplies the Poblacion barangays 1, 2 and 3. In the
Proper Poblacion, a 100 millimeter cast iron pipe which was built in 1965 still exists and is used to contribute to poor water quality
blow off installed for flushing and fire hydrants. Some areas of water services have isolation valves for pressure regulation,
maintenance purposes gauges and other monitoring devices installed in different pipe areas. Chlorine boosters were also installed
in areas where chlorine residue does not pass the department of health standard.
The Libacao and Ruiz Pumping Station located north east of Poblacion with a capacity of 20 liters per second and transmission line
of 150 millimeter of about 11 kilometers supplies Barangay Libacao, Cabanbanan, Nabalian, Aguisan and some part of barangay
Talaban. This transmission lines are built of PVC and constructed in 2005. Every barangay has a fire hydrant and a series of air
release valves, isolation valves and gauges.
74
In Proper Aguisan a combination of 100 millimeter and 75 millimeter diameters of about 5 kilometers long supplies the west, north
and south sides of Barangay Proper of Aguisan and Saraet with about 2, 500 concessionaires.. This pipe is combination of
galvanized cast iron and PVC pipes
The second area of isolated distribution line is the Barangay Suay with a population of more than 20,000 and about 700
concessionaires. The barangay is situated 7 kilometers south of Himamaylan City with two pumping stations supplying about 6
kilometers of water transmission and distribution lines with various pipe sizes of 150 millimeter, 100 millimeter, 75 millimeter
and 50 millimeter. All of these pipes are PVC and constructed in 2005.
The third one is Guia Pumping Station, a newly constructed water system with 100 millimeter diameter water distribution line of
about 2 kilometers long located 10 kilometers east side of Himamaylan City Poblacion. This pipe line supplies two sitios, the Tongo
and Iling-iling with about 30 concessionaires.

E. WATER QUALITY
Water is one of the basic necessities of people in order to survive. But sometimes people cannot make sure if the water they take is
safe, even if it comes from springs and wells. So the Himamaylan Water District implored a method on securing the quality of the
water consumed by the concessionaires.
74
The Himamaylan Water District has some water resources in the city. Water sources are maintained and always checked by the
person in charge to secure, monitor and look upon all the water resources. The water that is supplied to the concessionaires has
under gone some procedures to secure a good water quality. Chlorination is done to have a safe water supply for the
concessionaires and consumers. Therefore, supply water from pumping stations, wells and springs distributed to the
concessionaires and consumers are ready and safe to drink. However, there are some water sources that are not secured due to
some complications and hazardous events that took place. In these cases, water district always conducts assessments and finds
solutions to those hazardous events.
Himamaylan Water District operates only one water treatment plant for the pumping stations that serve the Poblacion Barangays.
The pungent odor of Llamas Pumping Station that delivers 30 liter per second is due to the presence of hydrogen sulfite. This is
maybe because Llamas Pumping Station lies in Canlaon Volcano straight where abundance of water is seen but the water quality is
compromised because of high iron content and turbidity. A technological intervention is needed to address these circumstances.
Primewater and Himamaylan Water District constructed an Activated Carbon Filter to remove the drogen sulfide in the water and
with the help of an efficient but low cost water treatment facility. It implores a combination of aeration, to remove the presence of
hydrogen sulfide, and two stage sand filter for the solidified minerals after aeration. Cleaning of sand filters is through backwashing
where valves are installed to do the process. There is no any electro mechanical equipment installed to do the process, but the
Llamas pump itself. Transfer of water from different processes is through hydraulic difference. Water from the filter box is
conveyed to the distribution lines to the reservoir and is received by the consumers through gravity. Chlorination is done in the
distribution box by gravity feed and in the transmission line by injection a combination sample of chlorine residue from the first
faucet of transmission line. Physical and chemical tests are done in the source.

Himamaylan Water District WSP Team validated each process flow diagram and identified what could be the hazards and
hazardous events that could happen in the water supply system. The hazards and hazardous events identification was conducted
through existing record, historical events, local knowledge, and on site visits. These hazards and hazardous events can affect the
safety of water supply, thus, establishment of what requires controlling the hazards in order to provide the safe drinking-water
was done. The WSP team considered all potential hazards biological, physical, and chemical associated in water supply system.
The WSP team used a semi-quantitative risk assessment to calculate the priority level for each identified hazards. The likelihood
and severity was derived from the team’s technical analysis based on data gathered. The table below describes the semi-
quantitative risk matrix used to rate the likelihood or frequency and severity of the consequence of the hazards.

V. DETERMINE AND VALIDATE CONTROL MEASURE, REASSESS AND PRIORITIZE THE RISK
74
Water Safety Plan documents the existing potential control measure for each of the identified hazards from catchment to the point
of use. The team validates each control to determine its efficacy at its point in the water supply system through site inspection,
manufacturer’s specification and based on monitoring data.
Reassessment of risk was conducted taking into account the effectiveness of each of the controls. The reduction in the risk rating
achieved by each control is an indication of its effectiveness. The risks were prioritized in terms of their impact to the capacity of
the system to deliver safe water. High priority risk may require system modifications or upgrade while lower priority can often be
minimized in the implementation of good and standard practices.
See Annex II for the determination and validation of control measures, reassessment and prioritization of risk from catchment to
distribution system including consumer premises.

Chapter 7.
Operational monitoring includes defining and validating the monitoring of control measures and establishing procedures to
demonstrate that the controls continue to work.
All control measures identified as “critical” were assigned as “critical control points” and were monitored against “critical limits or
operational limits” criteria. This critical / operational limit is a criterion that will indicate whether the control measure is effective
and is functioning as it was designed to be.
Monitoring plan for the whole water supply system indicates an acceptable critical / operational limit for each control, designates
monitoring locations, and establishes a schedule for frequency of monitoring assigned responsible parties. Corrective actions to be
taken in the event that monitoring reveals a parameter to be outside of the acceptable “limits” were also established.
See Annex IV for the monitoring of the control measures (operational monitoring) from catchment to distribution system
including consumer premises.

VIII. VERIFICATION
Verification provides evidence that the overall system design and operation is capable of consistently delivering water of the
specified quality to meet the health-based targets. It involves three activities:
1) Compliance monitoring – confirmation of compliance with water quality targets,
2) Internal and external auditing of operational activities - it can have both an assessment and a compliance checking role.
The frequency of audit depends on the level of confidence required by the water utility and the regulatory body,
3) Consumer satisfaction – includes checking that consumers are satisfied with the water supply.
See Annex V for the verification-monitoring plan for the whole water supply system.

Management producers are clear documentation of operational procedures for actions to be taken when the system is operating
under normal conditions and incident situation. The procedures should be written by an experienced staff and should be updated
as necessary, particularly in light of implementation of the improvement / upgrade plan, review of incidents, emergencies and near
misses. It also includes documentation of the system assessment, monitoring and communication plans and supporting programs.

X. SUPPORTING PROGRAMS
Supporting programs are organized wide activities that should be in place in supporting of the delivery of safe quality water. These
activities do not directly affect water quality but are meant to ensure no additional source of potential hazards will come from the
operating / surrounding environment, the equipment used are the people themselves, employees and visitors alike. The types of
surrounding programs that Himamaylan Water District has in aid of the realization of its mission are provided in Annex VI.
Management commitment entails constant assessment that shall lead of the existing programs and developing new ones.

Chapter 11.
Water Safety Plan shall be reviewed at least once a year to ensure that new risks threatening the water sources, production and
distribution of safe water are regularly assessed and addressed. An updated, relevant WSP will maintain the confidence and
support of employees and stakeholders in the WSP approach.
End-production testing is never enough for potable water suppliers that is why the water quality management system being
adopted consists of a system wherein each activity and process step has a role to play, standards expected of it and specific
mechanisms to achieve them. Following implementation of the Water Safety Plan, there is a need to review the procedures and
examination of records to ensure that it is being carried out. This is where periodic auditing comes in. An audit-based approach
places responsibility on every unit involved to provide information regarding system performance against agreed indicators.
Auditing has both an assessment and a compliance-checking role. It gathers information on the level of conformance to the quality
system as indicated in the WSP and to ISO standards as well as the degree of compliance to regulatory requirements. Aside from
determining if the quality system is being effectively implemented, it obtains factual input for management decision, determines if
company is at risk, identifies areas or opportunities for improvement, assesses individual performance, assists company staff
training needs, and improves communication and motivation of personnel.
Chapter 12.
To ensure that a WSP covers emerging hazards and issues, the WSP Team should review it periodically. The implementation of the
WSP framework reduces the number and severity of incidents, emergencies or near misses affecting or potentially affecting the
quality and safety of water. However, such incidents / events may still occur. Hence in addition to the periodic review of the WSP,
review of the WSP following every emergency, incident of unforeseen event irrespective of new hazard were identified is very
important to ensure that the same incident / emergency will not recur in the future and to determine whether the response was
effective or need to be improved. The result of a post incident review is always likely to identify areas for improvement whether it
is new hazard, or a revised risk for the risk assessment, a revision for an operating procedure, a training issue and the WSP must be
revised to reflect the change and incorporate the lessons learned into the WSP documentation, procedures and supporting
programs.
