Metro Bangued Water District

 

 

The system draws water from the Lusuac Spring, about 8 km southeast of Bangued.  It is located at Bgy. Lusuac in Peñarrubia at an elevation of about l94 meters above msl.  Source facilities include a spring impoundment and intake box. 

 

The spring is enclosed by an artificial impounding structure made of cyclopean masonry lined with concrete.  It is protected from falling leaves, twigs and other objects by a fine net cover and is enclosed by wire mesh and barbed wire. Water from the spring is conveyed to a nearby concrete intake box. 

 

The discharge of the spring as measured in 1989 was 208 lps.  The WD is only utilizing 42 lps at present.  The majority overflows into several irrigation channels.
