Aside from the inconvinience, the residents are also worrying about the effect of polluted water stock in different streets of the said subdivision.

With this, they urged local officials to visit their community to personally witness their situation. They believed that if this problem will come into the knowledge of Mayor Oscar Rodriguez, their problem will be ended soon.
