Clark Water Corp., a subsidiary of Manila Water Philippine Ventures and the sole water and wastewater service provider of the Clark Freeport Zone (CFZ), is spending P5.56 billion for service improvement projects crucial in the fulfillment of its service obligations to customers and compliance to regulatory requirements.
Under the business unit’s 2023-2040 service improvement plan presented during the public consultation for the 2022 rate rebasing, Manila Water Philippine Ventures chief operating officer and Clark Water president Melvin John Tan said the capital expenditure allocation would pave the way in developing new infrastructure anchored on water security, service quality, service accessibility and continuity and regulatory compliance.
Clark Water said it fully supports the goal of making CFZ a premier business and tourism destination by providing locators with quality and sustainable water and wastewater services.
Clark Water said it would continue with its source development programs to increase the current supply by 22 percent and is set to embark in the exploration of sustainable water sources and water re-use.
Having consistently delivered its service obligations to the CFZ locators, the business unit commits to further enhance water service quality and reliability through the construction of additional water treatment plants and storage facilities.
Clark Water will also continue to build and expand its water and sewer network and implement effective maintenance and rehabilitation of its existing network.
The company said it would ensure compliance to environmental standards with the completion of the retrofitting and construction works in its wastewater treatment facility.
“Through these projects, aside from the goal of continuously improving service for our customers, we also aim to continue supporting CFZ and the Province of Pampanga in their journey as one of the Philippines’ major investment hubs,” said Clark Water general manager Lyn Zamora.
