Prime Infra recently signed a memorandum of understanding with Manila Water to cooperate in the possible development of the Wawa Bulk Water Supply Project. 

The agreement formalizes the formation of a technical team that will conduct a technical study, of which shall be reviewed and approved by the MWSS.

“This is not an immediate fix, but rather a medium to long-term solution.  Yet our project is one of the fastest and most sustainable ways to solve this current water crisis.  If we don’t act now, this will be a recurring problem,” Razon said.

As facilitated by MWSS Administrator Reynaldo Velasco, talks are ongoing between Prime Infra and Manila Water to start the project soonest. DMS
