ACWD targets completion of vital pump station this April

ANGELES CITY — The Angeles City Water District (ACWD) is targeting to complete a pumping station in Barangay Margot this April to address the water shortage in the village and Barangay Sapang Bato.

This was learned from ACWD General Manager Reynaldo Liwanag, who said that they are doubling their efforts to complete the project this April, which is two months ahead of the June schedule.

The target date of completion for the well-drilling at the Margot pumping station is on April 15, according to Li w an ag.

After the drilling is done, the ACWD official said that a pump and other equipment will be acquired and installed to complete the water station.

“Hopefully, we can complete the pumping station at the end of the month and start supplying water to our concessionaires in Barangays Margot and some parts of Sapang Bato,” Liwanag said in the vernacular.

Another pumping station in Barangay Sapang Bato is being constructed by ACWD to augment the water supply in the two villages which was affected by water shortage since last February.

Liwanag assured the council that the water supply in the two villages will be restored in four months.

The ACWD officials meanwhile thanked politicians and businessmen who are donating drinking water to the r esi den t s.
