Tubig Pilipinas to set up water, sewerage system in Echague town
TUBIG PILIPINAS, a subsidiary of Pure Energy Holdings Corp., will begin construction of a water and sewerage system in Echague, Isabela by the fourth quarter this year. In a statement, the company said the project’s first phase, involving water supply, is expected to be completed in the first quarter next year. Once operational, about 80,000 residents of the first-class municipality will have potable water supply at home. “This project hopes to bring convenience to the residents of Echague. Hopefully, with water flowing into their homes, we are able to raise the quality of living in this province,” said Tubig Pilipinas President Ryan T. Yapkianwee. The Echague Water Supply, Sewage, and Septic Utility Project covers a management and maintenance service for a period of 25 years. Tubig Pilipinas was granted the authority to undertake the project through a municipal resolution issued Dec. 5, 2016. Tubig Pilipinas also has projects in the cities of Bacolod and Cadiz in Negros Occidental, three areas in Cavite, and Sual, Pangasinan.
