Mabalacat pumping station completed

Water service provider PrimeWater Mabalacat and the Mabalacat City Water District is now expected to serve more consumers following the recent completion of the rehabilitation of the Camachiles Resettlement Center Pumping Station in Mabalacat City, Pampanga.

Commissioned to meet the increasing demand for water supply in Barangay Camachiles, the redrilled CRC PS 2 has an estimated maximum yield of 25 liters per second or 2,160 cubic meters per day, with a well depth of 200 meters to fully penetrate the main and secondary aquifer layers.

“The CRC PS 2 redrilling project is not originally part of the Joint Venture Phase 1 project with MCWD. But due to the urgent requirement, we have realigned PrimeWater’s budget and given way for this project to make it happen this year. Based on the plan also, this pumping station is intended to supply one barangay only, but because it has a good yield, it can also supply even the population in nearby Resettlement Centers,” said Cezar Ong, PrimeWater AVP for JV Operations.

Serving over 1,500 families, CRC PS 2 is connected to commercial power and equipped with a generator set in case there is an outage in Barangays Camachiles, Sapang Bayabas, and Mawaque, which collectively have a population of about 5,000 people.
