PrimeWater Infrastructure Corp. has paved the way for the construction of Cavite’s second septage treatment plant in Tagaytay City on June 30.
“We in PrimeWater always stick with our mission to bring potable and reliable water. Aligned with that is bringing cleaner water upon this project’s completion,” said Engr. Romeo Sabater, PrimeWater’s Vice-President, of the septage treatment tank which will bring cleaner water to the city.
Perpetuo Lucero, Tagaytay City Water District’s Chairman, said the project will increase the percentage of Tagaytay’s septage treatment program.
“Tagaytay’s numbers are quite low,” he said, pertaining to the city’s domestic waste treatment. “But with the help of PrimeWater, I believe these numbers will shoot up.”
The septage project is in compliance with the Clean Water Act, which mandates local water districts in coordination with local government units and other government agencies to install hygienic septic tanks.
In her speech during the groundbreaking, Tagaytay City Councilor Anabelle Solis conveyed the gratitude of the local government, underscoring how their partnership with PrimeWater has helped them segregate domestic waste in the city.
Once done, the septage tank’s establishment will cater to 30 cubic meter septage capacity daily that will be disposed properly, said PrimeWater’s Sanitation and Wastewater head Vergel Paule.
“PrimeWater will also handle the regular dislodging, proper treatment, and disposal of domestic waste,” Paule added.
