Villar's PrimeWater fixes Bulacan water by June 13

PrimeWater Infrastructure Corp., owned by Villar, committed to resolving the water supply issue in Bulacan province before the school opening following President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.'s directive.

Palace Press Officer Undersecretary Atty. Claire Castro reported that PrimeWater promised to repair the Barihan pumping station by June 13, 2025, and coordinate with a drainage contractor to restore damaged pipelines.

PrimeWater stated that the rehabilitation will restore the pump station's previous capacity of 12 liters per second from its current six liters per second since June 9.

Marcos tasked the Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA) to conduct an immediate investigation into the lack of stable water supply in public schools he inspected in Malolos and San Miguel towns last Monday.

Castro said repair works will start on Friday, following a meeting between PrimeWater and the City of Malolos Water District (CMWD).

The results of the probe are expected soon as Castro mentioned.
