Calbayog Water, a business unit of Manila Water non-east zone subsidiary Manila Water Philippine Ventures, inaugurated three important infrastructure projects.
These include the Pagbalican Pump Station and 1,500 cubic meter Reservoir Rehabilitation Project, the San Policarpo Booster Pump Station and the San Policarpo-Pagbalican Transmission Line Project.
“The inauguration marks a significant milestone in Calbayog Water’s mission to deliver exceptional and reliable water services to the communities we serve and a testament to our commitment in fulfilling our service obligations. Through these projects, we also hope to contribute to better health and well-being of our customers and the development of the City of Calbayog,” said Fernan Barry Bohol, Calbayog Water officer-in-charge operations manager.
The Pagbalican reservoir, originally established in the late 1990s under the management of the Calbayog City Water District, was designed to fill the ground reservoir during off-peak hours and provide additional water during peak demand by utilizing stored water.
As Calbayog City’s population and water demand increased, the facility struggled to maintain its operations, leading to reduced water availability during peak hours.
Calbayog Water proposed a comprehensive project to restore the reservoir to full operational capacity in response to these challenges. The proposal led to the approval of the San Policarpo-Pagbalican Transmission Line project and the subsequent rehabilitation of the Pagbalican facility.
The addition of the San Policarpo Booster Pump Station will further enhance the system’s capacity by transferring water directly to the Pagbalican Reservoir, ensuring a reliable supply for the city. Calbayog Water allocated P60.8-million for the said projects.
These projects are expected to deliver sustained water volume and pressure to 5,025 households in the areas of Pagbalican, Dagum, Payahan, Balud, Hamorawon and Nijaga which experienced low pressure to no water.
The increased overall water volume provided by the new system will also benefit East and West Awang, Rawis, Carayman, and Bagacay through supply zoning.Calbayog Water, a business unit of Manila Water non-east zone subsidiary Manila Water Philippine Ventures, inaugurated three important infrastructure projects.
