                    [Summary] => The employees union of the Metro Cebu Water District, together with a consumers group, yesterday joined the opposition to the proposed Carmen Bulk Water Supply project and asked the MCWD management and the National Economic Development Authority to reject it.

Records show that only 39 percent of the total households in Metro Cebu are served. This does not include underserved areas where water is not available 24 hours a day.

Unserved areas buy water for as high as P150 per cu. m. from unsafe sources, water tankers and so called "taro-taro."
