Abstract / Excerpt:

Davao's first water supply system was established in 1921 which was then known as the Sakes Waterworks System. The said communal system tapped Malagos Creek and laid 28 kilometers of pipilines to serve some 10,000 users at the Davao poblacion area.
After the Second World War, Davao City's water demand increased proportionately to the growing population such that Ma-a spring was developed to increase volume and meet the demand. By 1955, a law enacted by Congress placed all municipal waterworks under the jurisdiction of the National Waterworks and Sewerage Administration (NAWASA). During this period better water facilities were constructed.
