On August 1, 2024, the L.A. Village Deepwell, a new water source in
Brgy. Tuntungin Putho, was officially inaugurated in a significant event that
marks an improved service in the community. The ceremony saw the presence of
key figures from various organizations. Representing the Local Water Utilities
Administration was Corporate Board Secretary Mr. Julius Basa. The Local
Government Unit of Los Baños was led by no less than Mayor Anthony “Ton”
Genuino and Vice Mayor Josephine “Baby” Sumangil. The Laguna Water District was
