Abstract: TUMAGAY, JENNIFER G. Operation of Water System in Selected Towns of Cavite. Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Business Management major in Economics. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 2007. Adviser: Mrs. Carmencita R. Feranil. The study was conducted to describe the characteristics of water system in selected towns of Cavite; describe the operation of water system in selected towns of Cavite; determine the profit generated from the operation of water system; and identify the problems encountered by the water system operator in selected towns of Cavite. The study was conducted in selected towns of Cavite, namely: Amadeo, Silang, Naic, Tanza and Trece Martires City. A total of 50 barangays were used in the study. Data were collected through personal interview with the aid of the prepared interview schedule. The data were analyzed using statistical tools, such as; frequency counts, percentages, mean, range and rank. Cost and return analysis was used to determine the profit generated from the operation. The starting capital of water system ranged from PhP150, 000 to PhP80, 000,000 with an average of PhP474, 183.24. Forty two percent obtained their capital from the government water facility and community contribution. Majority of the types of water system were community association. The common source of water was from ground water. Eighty six percent of the water systems was classified under Level III. The average years in managing the water system was 16 years and the average number of workers was 13. Many water systems were in operation for 16 hours from Mondays to Sundays. Nearly-half (42%) of the water systems supplied water to 850 to 1,424 populations. Forty percent of the water systems supplied water to 162 to 268 households. Sixty two percent of the respondents were supplied with water ranging from 2,300 to 21,724 gallons of per day. The rate of reconnection fee charged to client ranged from PhP20 to PhP500 with an average of PhP 129.52, and for installation fee, the rate charged ranged from PhP75 to PhP3, 960 with an average of PhP907.55. The average sales earned from the business was PhP790, 261, the average cost was PhP678, 272, and the average net income was PhP111, 989. The net profit margin ratio of the water system was 14.17 percent. The primary factor considered by the water system in determining water rates were the operation and maintenance cost, debt service needs and cost of system expansion. The problems encountered mentioned by the water system operators/managers were the delayed payments of customers, customer complaints, high cost of maintenance and high cost of electricity.
