BAGUIO CITY -- Mayor Mauricio G. Domogan Monday gave the assurance that the city government's preparations for the Lenten season are in place, adding that there is enough supply of potable water and garbage will be collected regularly.

Baguio being the "Summer Capital of the Philippines," visitors are expected to start flocking to the city next week to observe Holy Week, celebrate the Baguio Liberation Day, and commemorate the Fall of Bataan.

It is also during this period when Baguio remains cool with an average temperature of 14 to 26 degrees Celsius.

To assist both local and foreign visitors of the city, a program dubbed "Summer Vacation" (Sumvac) is implemented here.

Domogan said the selection and awarding of "Baguio Lucky Summer Visitors" is a major part of the city's activities.

"We want to assure motorists that their needs will be addressed," he said.

The Baguio Water District (BWD) in years has developed more water sources such as more deep wells to ensure sufficient supply. It is also into the protection of watersheds and reduction of water wastage by improving its distribution lines.

On garbage disposal, the mayor said Baguio not only has increased its fleet of dump trucks, but also installed the multi-million composting machines to turn biodegradable wastes into organic fertilizers.
