WATER SUPPLY IN LANTAPAN

INTRODUCTION
The presented information were taken from
various sources such as from reliable internet
websites, and books which tackles about the
state of water in the Philippines and in
Mindanao particularly in Lantapan, Bukidnon,
which allows the researchers to study the
sources of potable water for making a possibility
of sustaining and supplying drinking water if a
new standard size community will be created.
The state of water in Lantapan is carefully
studied in terms of the availability of water and
source of water to be extracted, and the current
available water supply source in the area.
Water sources in Lantapan, Bukidnon varies
from area to area, such as springs, streams,
rivers and deep wells. The availability of water is
enough to sustain a standard community size if
utilized and further studied.
The piping systems for the newly built
community will be based on the location, the
number of households, the total amount of
water consumed from households and where
the water would be taken from to start creating
this community and making dreams possible.
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The importance of delivering potable water in a
subdivision is very essential in terms of defining
the health of the residents and as well as the
proper sanitation in every household. Creating a
stable supply of water can be determined by
identifying a local source of water. The source
must be good and abundant to supply enough
water throughout the area considering the fact
that every home owner must use safe water.
 Lantapan is a first class municipality in the province
of Bukidnon, Philippines. It used to be a barrio of Malaybalay
City until its creation, by virtue of Republic Act No. 4787
enacted on 18 June 1968, as a separate municipality. According
to the 2010 census of the National Census and Statistics Office,
it has a population of 55, 934 people. The town is a landlocked
plateau situated between the Kalatungan and Kitanglad
mountain ranges after which its native name of "lantapan" was
derived which means "level-on-top". Sitio Bol-ogan, Barangay
Songco of Lantapan is the shortest route towards the major
jump-off to reach the highest point of Mt. Kitanglad Range
(with an elevation of 2,938 meters above sea level) and Mt.
Dulangdulang (with an elevation of 2,987 meters above sea
level) which is the countrys second-highest mountain, next to
Mt. Apo
