Laguna Water has opened one of the country’s largest groundwater facilities in the country at Laguna Technopark in Biñan City.
Laguna Water Well Field project was built at a cost of P1.6 billion to increase water supply in the agro-industrial province.
Laguna Water general manager Jhon Melvin Tan said the centralized water system stretches 10,000 square meters, with a capacity to supply 100 million liters of water per day.
About 12,000 households in Biñan City is currently connected to Laguna Well Field. This figure is expected to increase to 135,000 families in Biñan, Sta Rosa and Cabuyao by the first quarter of 2017.
An analysis conducted by UP National Hydraulic Research Center showed the Laguna Well Field project is in the right place for a source of drinking water.
Laguna Water assured customers they would have continuous access to adequate and clean drinking water, as the company upgrades the processes and quality of drinking water in the province.
Laguna Water is a successful public-private partnership between the provincial government of Laguna and Manila Water Company Inc.
