CHAPTER I
Safe drinking water has been one of the top political agendas of many governments. Supply
and distribution are key challenges in countries where infrastructure is lacking. Municipal piped
In these countries, for instance India, with a population of 1.25 billion, cities rely on traditional
large-scale water bottling plants to supply bottled water solutions to families, schools and
commercials.Yet in some other countries in the Asean region with close to 608 million in
population, smaller unregulated plants are sprouting up to meet the demands of the rural
township. Many of these smaller Water Bottling plants are tucked away in the outskirts where
start water refilling shops in their neighbourhood as an alternative source of drinking water
supply. These shops, often known as “refilling stations”, are no more than 50 square meters
and provide purified water quality that conforms with national standards for drinking water.
This alternative safe water supply infrastructure has proven effective in meeting the needs for
both urbanized cities, characterized by serious traffic congestion and distribution of safe
drinking water becomes a challenge after a 5km radius, and the rural provincial towns, where
One of the fast expanding business in the Philippines is the water refilling station. It is located
on every street corner because lot of people in urban areas prefer to get drinking water from
refilling water stations. In Talisay City, one of the cities of the Province of Negros Occidental,
Water Refilling Stations (WRS) managed by private entrepreneurs offer a cheaper and more
convenient solution to the public's drinking water need. The city health officer was represented
by the Secretary of health to issue the Certificate of Potability of Drinking Water. Monitoring
must be done on water refilling stations at least monthly. The results of the water analyses done
by the City Health Office are part of its regular evaluation and monitoring with the slow process
of receiving the results. To evaluate the quality of product water, most owners of WRS in Talisay
City conduct their own checking and monitoring manually using the Total Dissolved Solids
meter. However, this method was time consuming and not efficient. Since it was not possible to
take the water samples every hour and measure its qualities.

Based on the findings of the study, the following conclusion are formulated 1. The device is a
big help to the Water refilling station especially in management in monitoring the quality of the
water in Water refilling station in Talisay City. 2. The functionality of the device improved the
process of monitoring water quality. 3. In the actual testing of the device the respondents were
satisfied with the concept of the Water Refilling Station Monitoring System using TDS meter with
Low water pressure may be the result of problems with your plumbing system or it may result
from a problem in the pipeline serving your area. If you have low water pressure often, you may
have debris in your pipes, water supply and other valves may not be open, or you may have
leaks. To address low pressure problems inside your home, you should call a plumber and have

Water refilling stations can be a good source of safe drinking water in the Philippines.
Purified water can meet the aesthetic standards easily detectable by the people in terms
of taste, odor and color. The efficient water purification processes can make the quality
of water superior to the traditional water systems. However, the risk of contamination is
One of the most important health advantages in water refilling stations if they are using the
appropriate filtering systemis further screening out of harmful organisms, which survived the
chlorinated condition in the public water systems. Another important advantage is the removal of
Antipolo City’s Public Information Office has consistently and conscientiously shared the Water
Service Interruption advisory issued the past few days by Manila Water, the concessionaire
Manila Water’s advisory begins with the standard plea for understanding on the part of the
public. The fact is that the public understands that the current water supply situation appears to
be one big mess. Manila Water, for its part, also needs to understand how people deprived of
reliable water supply feel at a time like this – when the weather is searing hot and the faucets
are dry.In fairness to Manila Water, it has been doing its public information task well, thanks to a
communication team led by Engineer Jeric Sevilla. The concessionaire appears to have a solid
stakeholder communication program in place. This is one program that comes in handy at times
when the public’s patience is being tried and their trust in a service provider is being tested.
The reason behind what seems to be a looming water crisis is clear to us, and we understand
and others are highly confidential which means every single data about
the costumer are kept private. The limitation of accessibility of the proposed system is
exclusively only to the administrator and programmer. The costumer’s personal information
such as address, contact number, and others are highly confidential which means every single
data about the costumer are kept private. Manila Water is being given 1600 MLD from Angat
Dam (Maynilad is given 2400 MLD). This was in 1997. Manila Water was able to reduce non-
revenue water from 60 percent to 12 percent which has addressed the increasing population in
The population keeps increasing and they cannot reduce it below 12 percent anymore (the
international standard is 20 percent). Manila Water has been warning that there will be a water
shortage if we do not have a new water source soon and they announced it again just last year.
Metro Manila has no new water source because of the opposition to Kaliwa Dam, Laiban Dam,
etc.Due to the increasing population, Metro Manila’s water requirement is now 1750 MLD. Their
allocation of 1600 MLD is no longer enough so they have to use the reserve water at La Mesa
Dam. Since it has not been raining, their reserve is not getting replenished. This is the reason
Definition of Terms of Water refilling station business, The public hopes that the government
which is responsible for looking for and developing those new water sources will be able to
On the part of Rizaleños and Antipoleños, we wonder why the government has not maximized
About two years ago, we shared in this column a water supply project which Manila Water and
the Rizal Provincial Government under the leadership of Governor Nini Ynares have put in
place. This is the Rizal Province Water Supply Improvement Project (RPWSIP). The idea is to
draw water from Laguna Lake; process the water at a plant which Manila Water built in
Cardona, Rizal; and distribute the water to businesses and households in seven Rizal towns –
If more water can be drawn from Laguna Lake and more plants can be built to process that
water for household and industrial use, the other Rizal towns and Antipolo City will have to rely
less on the water that comes all the way from Angat Dam.
Tapping the water of Laguna Lake will also mean that Rizaleños and Antipoleños will not have
to wait for the government to address the opposition to the use of Laiban and Kaliwa Dams.
When the government succeeds in tapping those new water sources, Rizal and Antipolo may
not have to compete for a major allocation against the other cities of Metro Manila.
The reliable supply of clean water is important to Rizal and Antipolo. This is a vital factor which
has led to the rapid socio-economic growth. This is why Rizal province is now a Hall of Famer in
the roster of the country’s most competitive provinces, having topped that list for several years.
The same is true for Antipolo.We cannot afford to lose that competitive advantage. This is an
aspiration that has been shared by and committed to by the leadership of Manila Water,
particularly Messrs. Gerry Ablaza, Ferdz dela Cruz, and Ding Carpio.As we said many times in
the past, the presence of reliable, clean, and environment-friendly water supply contributed to
These are families who opted to build their homes in Antipolo’s many new subdivisions
developed by some of our country’s biggest names in the real property sector
Over the years, as the demand for cleaner water becomes higher, the price of household water
purifiers and bottled water has become prohibitive. Water refilling stations managed by private
entrepreneurs offer a cheaper and more convenient solution to the public’s drinking water needs
than bottled water or the use of household filters. At present, about 3,000 water refilling
stations have proliferated nationwide. They sell purified water of comparable quality with bottled
water at a lower price. For example, the current price per gallon of refilled purified water in
Metro Manila ranges from P 50 to P 120 per 5-gallon container or about P 2.50 to P 6.00 per
liter while the bottled water is sold at P 12.00 to P 25.00 per liter. Household filters, on the other
hand, cost P 5,000 to P 25,000 per unit In Metro Manila, most of the water refilling stations are
connected to the pipes of two concessionaires: Maynilad Water Company or Manila Water
Company for their source of raw water while in other areas they opt to use private deep wells.
The “potable water” supplied by the providers is then further purified by utilizing a combination
of water treatment equipment, such as sediment filters, carbon filters, water softeners, reverse
osmosis membranes, ultra-violet lamps, and ozone generators. Typical water refilling stations
can produce 3,000 to 12,000 litres of purified water per day. In previous years, most of the
people were bringing a container to a water refilling station to buy purified water.is now
increasing. The quality of purified water conforms with the national standards for drinking water
and is even better than the quality of water produced by traditional water supply systems in
terms of removed impurities. Recent approaches aimed at the improvements of urban water
supply services have focused onimprovements in the physical environment and has been
applied in city planning, publictransport systems, parks and recreational spaces, low-income
housing,and down to areas where people feel most deprived of the basic for life services. The

This chapter presents a review of various concepts in packaged water refilling station research
developed in several past works to serve as a basis for defining the concepts used in the
present study. Further such an attempt would help the researcher to collect relevant information
and subject them to statistical analysis for interpretation and comparison of results with the
studies made earlier. Further, an attempt is made to specify appropriate concepts and review
the past work done as relevant to the present study.recent publication, the Philippine
Government has encouraged private entrepreneurs to start water refilling shops in their
neighbourhood as an alternative source of drinking water supply. These shops, often known as
“refilling stations”, are no more than 50 square metersand provide purified water quality that
conforms with national standards for drinking water.This alternative safe water supply
infrastructure has proven effective in meeting the needs for both urbanized cities, characterized
by serious traffic congestion and distribution of safe drinking water becomes a challenge after a
5km radius, and the rural provincial towns, where large trucks find it impossible to access.
based on our research on water refilling station the people here in our village are getting
enough to meet the needs of our village.but there is a water enteruption in our area due to water
interuption in our village due to manila water shortage of supply due to dehydrationor water
shortage and one of the reasons for the shortage of Manila Water's water supply is the delayed
projects that should help increasesupply, according to the water concessionaire. According to
Manila Water, there would havebeen no problem with the water supply if the Left Dam had been
created and the Cardona treatment plant was running, which should have taken the water to
Laguna Lake Due to delayed projects, Manila Water was forced to use emergency supplies
from La mesa Dam,which has now reached critical levels.Maynilad is not affected by the current
situation because of the normal distribution of water from Angat Dam and now it is raining we do
not experience water interruption and continue to supply our village water supply.

that seeks in-depth understanding of social phenomena within their natural setting. It focuses
on the "why" rather than the "what" of social phenomena and relies on the direct experiences of
human beings as meaning-making agents in their every day lives. Rather than by logical and
statistical procedures, qualitative researchers use multiple systems of inquiry for the study of
human phenomena including biography, case study, historical analysis, discourse analysis,

Phenomenology is a qualitative research method that is used to describe how human beings
experience a certain phenomenon. A phenomenology study attempts to set aside biases and
situation. It allows the researcher to delve into the perceptions, perspectives, understandings,
and feelings of those people who have actually experienced or lived the phenomenon or
situation of interest. Therefore, phenomenology can be defined as the direct investigation and
The study will be conducted in the Cupang Antipolo City, the responded will be interviewed
In their houses, where their business is located, or any comfortable places that the respondent
will choose. The research gathered respondents residing in National Capital Region.
The spot we choose is Cupang. Because in Cupang we were close enough so we didn't have to
travel much, it was also close to the person we were interviewing so this is the place we chose.

Data Analysis is the process of systematically applying statistical and/or logical techniques to
describe and illustrate, condense and recap, and evaluate data. According to Shamoo and
Resnik (2003) various analytic procedures “provide a way of drawing inductive inferences from
data and distinguishing the signal (the phenomenon of interest) from the noise
(statistical fluctuations) present in the data”. While data analysis in qualitative research can
include statistical procedures, many times analysis becomes an ongoing iterative process
where data is continuously collected and analyzed almost simultaneously. Indeed, researchers
generally analyze for patterns in observations through the entire data collection phase
(Savenye, Robinson, 2004). The form of the analysis is determined by the specific qualitative
approach taken (field study, ethnography content analysis, oral history, biography,) and the form
of the data (field notes, documents, audiotape, videotape).The data collected will be analysed
through narrative analysis. It is a method that Involves the reformulation of stories represented
