The Davao City Water District (DSWD) is offering free water consumption for one day on Saturday, November 9, 2024, as part of its 51st anniversary.

DCWD said around 198,500 of the 256,000 service connections or 78 percent of the total service connections will benefit from the promo.

This will reflect in the December 2024 bill.

“There is no need to sign up any form or magpadala og any text para maka-avail ani nga promo. Gamit lang ka og tubig on November 9 automatic libre na siya on your next billing period,” DCWD Spokesperson, Jovana Duhaylungsod, said.

DCWD said the promo is due to the improvement in their services, including the use of ground and surface water as source.

It is also DCWD’s way to thank its consumers for the support.

DCWD assured that the water supply in the city remains sufficient.

“Regardless kung unsa man ang dagan sa panahon, may it be naay el nino o naay la nina, masiguro nato nga maka-provide gyud ta og always available nga water sa atong mga customer,” Duhaylungsod added.

Residents were glad to hear that they can consume water for free for the whole day.

“Labing maayo na kay makatabang na sa mga pobre gud nga makatabang sa isa ka adlaw at least naay libreng tubig sa isa ka adlaw,” consumer, Jinggo Jumamoy, said.

Others planned to store more water to take advantage of the promo.

“Pundo kog tubig para makamenos menos mi sa among mga bayronon dako kaayog ikatabang sa amoa na uy,” another consumer, Leo Garde, added.
