The Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System assured Prime Infra’s Enrique Razon that the water agency will give its final approval to the Wawa Bulk Water Supply Project, stressing it remains a major flagship project of the Duterte administration’s water security program.
MWSS Chairman Reynaldo Velasco made the assurance, adding the MWSS board would tackle and approve the Wawa Dam project to help address the water supply deficit in the Eastern Zone under Manila Water.
The Wawa Dam is an integral part of the overall short-, medium- and long-term water flagship projects of MWSS to ensure water security,” Velasco said.
“We are in a catch-up mode as far as water supply source is concerned. Wawa Dam, which used to be the water source for Metro Manila before Angat Dam was completed on 1967 and became operational, has been identified by water experts as the best potential water supply source for Metro Manila,” Velasco added.
