The Victorias City Water District (VCWD) was formed on September 12, 1978 through Resolution No. 265. This was passed by the Sangguniang Bayan to cover the entire City of Victorias. The resolution was filed with LWUA on September 20, 1978 and a Conditional Certificate of Conformance (CCC) No. 070 was subsuquently issued to the VCWD on December 4, 1978. With its creation, the VCWD took over the ownership and management of the waterworks system from the municipal government in accordance with Presidential Decree No. 198, otherwise known as the Provincial Water Utilities Act of 1973. As constituted, the water district is subject to the provisions of PD 198 and to the rules and regulations of LWUA. The water district can promulgate its own operational laws through its five-member Board of Directors. The VCWD was formed for the purpose of acquiring, installing, improving, maintaining, and operating the water supply system as well as any future waste-water collection, treatment and disposal facilities of the district. To realize these objectives, the VCWD can avail itself of financial and technical assistance from LWUA. PD 198 provides, however, that the water district operates eventually on a financially self-sufficient basis. The VCWD has recently started receiving assistance in its institutional development from the LWUA Regulatory Department. Advisory services are conducted by a LWUA advisory team to guide the water district towards self-sufficiency and provide assistance in the preparation and implementation of their improvement programs. It is anticipated that with the advisory team's guidance, the VCWD will soon adopt new systems and procedures in the operation and maintenance of the water systems.
