San Jose del Monte, Bulacan — PrimeWater San Jose del Monte, in partnership with the San Jose del Monte Water District, continues to work hard to deliver major infrastructure upgrades to solve supply concerns at the peak of the summer season.
PrimeWater reported that the Bulacan Bulk Interconnection Point 2, located in Barangay Muzon has been completed to address the pressure imbalance and supply limitations in the city's most densely populated areas, benefiting around 28,000 concessionaires by connecting and optimizing multiple water sources in the network.
It said the partnership has been able to increase water supply service from 85.223 MLD (million liters of water per day) to 122.356 MLD and continues to work hard to meet the water demand of the fast-growing city.
"As San Jose del Monte continues to grow, both in population and infrastructure, PrimeWater and the SJDM Water District are working hand in hand to ensure the water system keeps pace—with better reach, better pressure, and more reliable access for every household. By upgrading both our storage and transmission systems, we're able to reach more areas consistently and prepare the city's water system for further growth," said Lanie Carino-Quinto, operations head for North Luzon.
Meanwhile, construction is underway for the transmission line extension from Barangay Tungkong Mangga to Barangay Gaya-Gaya. This is a crucial project for higher elevation zones that currently experience only 4 to 6 hours of water availability a day.

Once completed these areas are expected to receive 16 to 24 hours of water supply service. In addition to improving water distribution for around 18,000 concessionaires, it also has the capacity to support an estimated 4,000 new service connections—a key step in keeping up with SJDM's rapid residential expansion.
"The PrimeWater SJDM and SJDMWD partnership continues to assess and implement a strong and sustainable water management plan as part of a broader strategy to future-proof the city's water system and ensure that water supply will be sustainable not just today but for future generations," Quinto said.
