TAGUIG CITY, June 28 (PIA) – With the onset of the rainy season, the city government of Taguig has assured its constituents for a safer environment.
Mayor Lani Cayetano said the city government of Taguig has implemented proactive preparations and contingency plans prior to the declaration of the rainy season. She said these preparations address problems regarding street floodings and waterways cloggings.
“The rainy season has always been a cause of worry to our constituents. We want to relieve them of that uneasiness through the proper preparations and contingency plans for any untoward incident during this kind of season,” Cayetano said.
Part of this is the launching of city’s Task Force Flood Control last March 2016, which aims to prevent flooding of low-lying streets that would also cause the spread of diseases like dengue. Hundreds of personnel were deployed to both districts of the city in the implementation of the programs under Task Force Flood Control.
According to Taguig Solid Waste Management Office (SWMO) Head Eugene Bilao, the city coordinates with barangay officials and street sweepers to conduct a twice-a-month cleanup drive in their areas. Activities include the cleaning of main streets, declogging of drainage systems and segregation of household wastes for proper disposal. (TAGUIG/RJB/JEG/PIA-NCR)
