During the âKapihan sa PIAâ organized by the Public Information Agency in Central Visayas Wednesday, March 15, 2023, John Macabinta, Corporate Planning Department acting manager of the government-owned and -controlled utility provider, said 70 percent of the water supply sourced by MCWD comes from below the ground, while the rest comes from surface waters like rivers and reservoirs.
Velasco was referring to a recently concluded bidding and award between the Marinduque Water District and the Pasig City-based Peak Off-Grid Innovations and Solutions for the establishment of modern facilities designed to deliver some 29,200 cubic meters of drinkable water daily to meet the islandersâ demand for personal, household, and irrigation purposes.
Peak Off-Grid has set up modern facilities designed to deliver at least 29,200 cubic meters of drinkable water daily to meet the islandersâ demand for personal, household, and irrigation purposes.
Facilities have an uninterruptible supply of potable water using solar-powered Finnish desalination technology.
Last Dec. 28, MCWD signed a 25-year desalinated bulk water supply contract with Pilipinas Water Resources Inc. (PWRI) and 8990 Housing Development Corp. Joint Venture (JV) for the delivery of water.
The P20.7 billion contract is expected to deliver 10,000 cubic meters (cbm) of water daily in the first year, and then 25,000 cbm per day for the remaining 24 years of the contract.
AIC has submitted an unsolicited proposal to supply the Metro Cebu Water District (MWCD) with 30 million liters per day of desalinated bulk water. It intends to utilize Keppel Infrastructureâs expertise and technologies in building and operating a desalination plant in the province wherein raw saltwater will be treated using the reverse osmosis water treatment technology to produce safe drinking water.
