The town government of Baungon, Bukidnon says the bulk water supplier has not complied with the Local Government Code and a municipal ordinance which require permits for excavations

Baungon Mayor Rogelio Jaraula issued a cease-and-desist order on the pipe-laying activities of Rio Verde Water Consortium Incorporated , stating that the company failed to provide the necessary documents to prove that it had obtained the required clearances, permits, and had paid the requisite fees. Lawyer Ernie Palanan, a town resident, said the pipes were being replaced with larger ones to meet the increasing demand for water in Cagayan de Oro by increasing the volume of water that Rio Verde-COBI can extract from the Bobonawan River. “It is ironic that, for the past 10 years, Baungon has been supplying the bulk water needs of COWD and Cagayan de Oro residents through Rio Verde, yet we do not have our own water system,” Palanan said.
Hapitan was referring to 10 of the 13 documents required by the town government, emphasizing that the release of such documents require the consent of those who signed them and the company’s board resolution. “Our legal counsel has informed us that the issue of whether or not the pipe laying can continue is already beyond the competence of anyone or any tribunal outside the court,” Hapitan wrote in a letter on September 26.
