The Philippine Water Works Association (PWWA) held its 22nd International Conference and Exhibition dubbed as PHILWATER 2014 last May 14 - 16, 2014 at Crown Regency Resort and Convention Center (Station 2, Balabag, Boracay Island, Malay, Aklan, Philippines. The conference theme “ Water Sector Agenda: Business Continuity Amidst Changing Environment”.
Boracay Water general manager Ben Manosca shared water and used water operational measures and sustainability practices undertaken by the company to ensure the continued protection and sustainable development of the famed Boracay Island.
“Emphasizing environmental stewardship while continuously providing water and used water services is essential in upholding the island as one of the country’s top tourist destinations while supporting its economic viability,” said Manosca.
Boracay Water was formed through the partnership of Manila Water and the Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority (TIEZA) in 2009 to provide water and used water services in Boracay in Malay, Aklan, particularly in its three barangays — Manocmanoc, Balabag, and Yapak.
“Four years after we took over the operations and management of water and sewerage system of the island, our public-private partnership with TIEZA has resulted in 99.9 percent water reliability due to the rehabilitation of the water treatment plant and has increased water availability to its service area to 100 percent from 60 percent. Level of system losses is down to 12.4 percent in January 2014 from 37 percent in 2009,” Manosca added.
To ensure the treatment of used water, Boracay Water operates the Balabag sewage treatment plant, which complies with Department of Environment and Natural Resources standards in processing 6.5 million liters of used water per day.
Apart from this, three vacuum trucks provide regular desludging services and sewer service connections, now at 877, up by more than half than during pre-concession.
