Under the measure to be known as the Rain Harvesting Facility of Government Buildings Act of 2011, the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) is mandated to disapprove designs of public buildings that do not contain rain-harvesting and storage facilities and to ensure that these are included in the actual construction of the buildings. Local government units (LGUs) shall not issue building permits to government building construction projects that do not incorporate rain-water harvesting and storage facilities. Under the bill, approved building designs without incorporating the rain-water harvesting and storage facilities in the design shall be penalized with a P200,000 fine or imprisonment of six months or both. Also, the non-construction of rain-harvesting and storage facilities that are actually incorporated in the design of the building shall incur the same penalty. Further, the signatory who issued the building permit for the construction of government buildings which is found to have not incorporated the rain-harvesting and storage facilities shall be punished with a P200,000 fine or imprisonment of six months or both.
