CREATION OF IPIL WATER DISTRICT The late Mayor Fontanoza created Ipil Water District on May 6, 1991 after the turnover of the then NAWASA that was under the management of the local government. Ipil Water District was given a Certificate of Conformance last April 25, 1991, being the 492nd Water District all over the Philippines. With the increasing population demand, it was observed that the existing water sources and facilities could not meet the demand of supply, so the management seeks for financial assistance from LWUA for the installation of pipelines and pumping equipments of the well drilled in Titay which was funded by Gov. George T. Hofer who was a congressman before thru LINGAP SA MAHIRAP Program
ANNEXATION OF TITAY WATER DISTRICT TO IPIL WATER DISTRICT Due to some important documents that were not complied, the Titay Water District was not duly formed and therefore was not issued the Conditional Certificate of Conformance. Considering the need of potable water by the people of which Titay has an identified source, it would be more practical to merge Titay Water District to Ipil Water District because it will not only provide water supply to Titay, but will also help Ipil Water District augment its water sources. The Development of Titay Water System made the annexation of Titay to Ipil Water District. Thus, on August 13, 1997, Ipil-Titay Water District was formed per Resolution No. 23 series of 1997.

LWUA Full Management Take-over of ITWD On December 5, 2005, the management of the Ipil-Titay Water District (ITWD) was fully taken- over by the Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA) by virtue of Board of Trustees Resolution No. 196, series of 2005, dated October 11, 2005. This adheres to P.D. 198, Chapter VIII, Section 36 – which define the powers of the LWUA as Lender in case of default in amortization payments as Borrowers District.
