The town of Sevilla in the province of Bohol has asked the Department of Environment and Natural Resources to stop its neighboring town Balilihan from extracting water from a spring located in one of its barangays.
As indicated in their water permit, Dano stressed that the Balilihan local government unit should be extracting water from Bugwak Spring, Sto. Niño, Balilihan, Bohol. Instead, the neighboring town has been siphoning water from Bugwak Spring in Magsaysay, Sevilla, “contrary to their approved water permit.”
Aside from DENR, Dano formally petitioned NWRB to stop Balilihan from extracting water from her municipality. She noted that Balilihan’s water permit is to appropriate water from its own territory, not Sevilla.
