SMC to provide water supply in seven additional Bulacan towns

SAN MIGUEL Corp. (SMC) is set to provide water supply to seven more towns in Bulacan under the Bulacan Bulk Water Supply project. 

The company said in a statement on Tuesday that it recently formalized agreements with the water districts of Norzagaray, Hagonoy, Pandi, Baliwag, San Rafael, San Miguel, and San Ildefonso for water supply access in their respective areas. 

SMC President Ramon S. Ang said the company is eyeing to begin operations by January 2023.

“With these agreements signed with the seven water districts, and with the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS) having approved the updated business plan, we can now start preliminary engineering design, and then construction,” Mr. Ang said.

SMC said it hopes to sign agreements with four other water districts in Bulacan, namely: Pulilan, Angat, Dona Remedios Trinidad, and Bustos in the near future.

The bulk water supply project is a public-private partnership project of SMC unit Luzon Clean Water Development Corp. and K-Water Resources Corp. consortium with the MWSS. — Revin Mikhael D. Ochave
