MANILA, Philippines — Clark Water Corp., a subsidiary of Manila Water Philippine Ventures (MWPV), is spending P5.56 billion to improve its services in the Clark Freeport Zone (CFZ).

MWPV chief operating officer and Clark Water Corp. president John Tan said the allocation would be used to develop new infrastructure “anchored on water security, service quality, service accessibility and continuity, and regulatory compliance.”

“Clark Water 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.

“With this, Clark Water will continue with its source development programs to increase the current supply by 22 percent and is likewise set to embark in the exploration of sustainable water sources and water re-use,” it added.

Clark Water vowed to construct additional water treatment plants and storage facilities to further improve its water service quality and reliability in the CFZ.

“Clark Water will also continue to build and expand its water and sewer network and implement effective maintenance and rehabilitation of its existing network,” it added.

The company is also expanding its existing treatment plant to address the increasing wastewater discharge of existing and upcoming CFZ locators.

“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,” Clark Water general manager Lyn Zamora said.

Clark Water is currently serving more than 1,000 locators in the CFZ, with around 2,000 water service connections.
