PrimeWater Sorsogon and Sorsogon City Water District held the inauguration of San Lorenzo Well 2 and groundbreaking for San Lorenzo Pumping Station 2, both projects expected to significantly boost the water supply and enhance water services in Sorsogon City.  The event was attended by Sorsogon City Mayor Ma Ester Hamor (middle), and Sorsogon City Water District Board of Directors led by Chairperson Charles Clemente III.

PrimeWater and joint venture partner Sorsogon City Water District (SCWD) held the inauguration ceremony for the San Lorenzo Well No. 2 and the groundbreaking for the San Lorenzo Pumping Station 2 project. Both projects are expected to significantly boost the daily water supply and improve water services across multiple barangays in Sorsogon City.

Located in Sitio San Lorenzo, Brgy. Bibincahan, Sorsogon City, the deep well will deliver an additional 2,000 cubic meters per day (CMD) of water to address the growing demand for water in concessionaires at Barangays Bibincahan, Almendras Cogon, Balogo, Salog, and Sampaloc.

"Tayo po ay natutuwa na makita ang commitment ng PrimeWater para sa ikabubuti ng water supply dito sa Sorsogon. (We are delighted to see the commitment of PrimeWater to benefit Sorsogon's water supply.) We will keep on working and cooperating with each other to continue enhancing our water service for the people of Sorsogon City," emphasizes Sorsogon City Water District Interim General Manager Eduardo Tejada.

Moreover, a 40-horsepower submersible pump and motor, along with diameter riser pipes, have been installed to enhance the efficiency of transporting water from the deep well to households above ground.

"PrimeWater and SCWD have jointly undertaken this initiative to enhance further the quality and reliability of the water service we provide to our consumers in the city," says PrimeWater Sorsogon City Branch Manager Engr. Ronel Roger Pereyra.

To guarantee compliance with the 2017 Philippine National Standards for Drinking Water, which aim to safeguard public health, a test run was conducted to ensure that the water quality from the new source development meets the required standards.

Apart from completing San Lorenzo Well No. 2, the PrimeWater-SCWD partnership has laid almost 2,000 linear meters of new pipelines to facilitate the efficient delivery of additional water supply to consumers. The daily bulk water supply sourced from the SCWD deep well and the daily recoverable volume from the pipeline decommissioning project in the West service area highlight PrimeWater-SCWD's proactive initiatives towards fulfilling their vision of delivering a more consistent and stable water supply to the barangays within their service areas. Sorsogon City Mayor Ma also attended the event. Ester E. Hamor and Councilor Mark Jayson Dechavez Jamisola, as well as by the SCWD Board of Directors led by Chairperson Charles Clemente III.
