Benitez: ‘ Baciwa should continue to penalize PrimeWater’

Despite additional delivery of water supply, Bacolod City Mayor Alfredo Abelardo Benitez is still pushing to penalize PrimeWater Infrastructure Inc. for allegedly violating the provision of their contract. Benitez said the Board of Directors of Bacolod City Water District should continue to impose the penalties against the PrimeWater. “ They committed a penalty so they should be penalized,” he said.

“So obviously, this provision by 2022, all consumers of PrimeWater should have been experiencing 24 hours uninterrupted water supply, so basically this provision has not been complied,” Benitez said. He said PrimeWater claimed that they need 90 million liters of water per day , but they only have 70 MLD. Based on other reviews and analysis, Bacolod City needs 125 MLD. He added that PrimeWater should have an overall planning perspective when it comes to water supply.
