THE P10-billion bulk water supply project for Davao City, awarded in mid-2014, is finally having its formal groundbreaking today, Nov. 26. The project, which will tap the Tamugan River and provide 300 million liters of water per day to the Davao City Water District (DCWD), is being undertaken by Apo Agua Infrastructura, Inc. (AAII), a joint venture between the Aboitiz Group and J.V. Angeles Construction Corp. Project implementation has been delayed due to permitting procedures, particularly the use of the river, which is part of a declared watershed area. The facility includes a weir, a small hydropower plant, and pipelines to the water treatment facility and existing reservoirs of DCWD.
