The late Mayor Fontanoza created Ipil Water District on May 6, 1991, after the turnover of the then NAWASA that was under the management of the local government. Ipil Water District was given a Certificate of Conformance last April 25, 1991, being the 492nd Water District in the Philippines. With the increasing population demand, it was observed that the existing water sources and facilities could not meet the demand for supply, so the management seeks for financial assistance from LWUA for the installation of pipelines and pumping equipment for the well drilled in Titay which was funded by Gov. George T. Hofer who was a congressman before thru LINGAP SA MAHIRAP Program.
Due to some important documents that were not complied, the Titay Water District was not duly formed and therefore was not issued the Conditional Certificate of Conformance. Considering the need for potable water by the people of which Titay has an identified source, it would be more practical to merge Titay Water District with Ipil Water District because it will not only provide water supply to Titay but will also help Ipil Water District augment its water sources. The Development of the Titay Water System made the annexation of Titay to Ipil Water District. Thus, on August 13, 1997, Ipil-Titay Water District was formed per Resolution No. 23 series of 1997.
ITWD is a Government-Owned and Controlled Corporation (GOCC) with an original charter created under PD 198. GOCCs are corporations created or established by a special charter or law in the interest of the common good and subject to the test of economic viability. As GOCC, ITWD is self-liquidating and not getting any subsidy from National Government.
On December 5, 2005, the management of the Ipil-Titay Water District (ITWD) was fully taken- over by the Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA) by virtue of Board of Trustees Resolution No. 196, series of 2005, dated October 11, 2005. This adheres to P.D. 198, Chapter VIII, Section 36 – which defines the powers of the LWUA as Lender in case of default in amortization payments as Borrowers District.
The Ipil-Titay Water District has two (2) separate water supply systems, namely; the Ipil and Titay systems. The Ipil water system which is considered the main system accommodates 85% of the total number of service connections.
The main system serves twelve (12) adjacent barangays utilizing two (2) springs and four (4) deep wells. Two (2) of these four deep wells are located in Ipil and the other two (2) are in Azusano, Titay. The Titay water supply system serves three (3) barangays in Titay. Water from the sources was chlorinated and pumped into the 130 cu.m. concrete ground reservoir prior to distribution to the service area by gravity.
Ipil-Titay Water District is using seven (7) Pumping Stations: five (5) deep wells and two (2) springs as water sources.
The water supply to the system is negative for fecal and ecoli form of bacteria, as certified by the Department of Health (DOH) accredited Testing Laboratories. A regular water quality check is undertaken every month to ensure the safety of the consuming public.
