The Donsol Water Supply System has been operational since 1938 with springs abandoned in 1965 and 8 km from the Poblacion – as a source of supply. It was originally managed and operated by the defunct National Water and Sewerage Administration (NAWASA).

In 1959, operation and maintenance of the water system was transferred to the municipal government, which managed the system until 1978 when the Donsol Water district was formed by virtue of Sangguniang Bayan Resolution No. 15, S-78.
