Cordova town to build 300 septic tanks

CORDOVA town plans to build at least 300 septic tanks and a septage treatment plant in the town.

Mayor Adelino Sitoy said the septic tanks would be used to store domestic waste from the neighboring cities.

He said this was a joint project between the town and the Metro Cebu Water District (MCWD).

“Waste that are collected from the neighboring towns and cities will also be processed to the septage plant,” Sitoy said.

Sitoy was referring to the one-hectare septage treatment plant he planned to build in barangay San Miguel. The plant will convert the waste to potable water.

Sitoy said the septic tanks would be built in different areas in the 13 barangays of the town.

Sitoy said once the facilities would be completed  fees would be collected to those towns and cities who wished to dispose of their wastes in Cordova’s septic tanks. /Correspondent Norman V. Mendoza
