PrimeWater San Jose del Monte, in partnership with the San Jose del Monte Water District, is undertaking major infrastructure upgrades to improve water supply and availability in the city.
PrimeWater announced over the weekend that the Transmission Line Extension Project, Segment 1, from Tungkong Mangga to Gaya-Gaya, is underway and expected to be finished by the end of June.
This project aims to reach higher elevation zones that currently have difficulty receiving water supply.
“We are upgrading both our storage and transmission systems to ensure that we will be able to supply our concessionaires sufficiently,” PrimeWater management said in a statement.
“The project is in near completion, and we are optimistic that once it’s completed, the significant impact will be felt by our subscribers.”
The areas are expected to receive 16 to 24 hours of water supply service once the project is finished.
In addition to improving water distribution for about 18,000 existing concessionaires, it can also support an estimated 4,000 new service connections, which is crucial for San Jose del Monte’s rapid residential expansion.
Since the joint venture, the partnership has increased water supply service from 85.223 million liters per day (MLD) to 122.356 MLD.
The partnership continues to work to meet the increasing supply-demand driven by the city’s rapid population and economic growth.
Interconnection Point 2 in Muzon Poblacion was also recently completed. This project addresses pressure imbalance and supply limitations in the city’s most densely populated area, benefiting around 28,000 concessionaires by connecting and optimizing multiple water sources in the network.
PrimeWater and the San Jose del Monte Water District are committed to work together to ensure the water system keeps pace with the city’s growth, providing better reach and pressure, and more reliable access for every household in their service areas.
