WATER ANALYSIS UNDER KMC’S WATER SYSTEM PROJECTSen. Cynthia Villar, Chairperson of the Senate Committee on Environment and Natural Resources, appreciates these programs by mining companies, as it shows their commitment in pursuing environment sustainability and also ensuring the safety of residents of the communities. Water sampling to test for water quality was conducted at the water source established in Sitio Patilan, Barangay Bongbong, Pantukan, Davao De Oro few years back. The water project is a partnership between the Muslim Christian Workers Association and Kingking Mining Corporation (KMC). A total of 309 households benefited from the said project. The samples collected were analyzed for its physico-chemical quality and microbiological parameters to check for possible threats and impacts to the environment and health of the end-users. The samples were sent to the University of Immaculate Conception Science Resources Center in Davao City. All samples that were tested showed that Total and Fecal coliforms were within limits or the prescribed standards set by the Philippine National Standards for Drinking Water. https://www.facebook.com/KingkingProject/
