Restoring Reliable Water Service in San Jose del Monte, Bulacan

In May 2026, the City Government of San Jose del Monte (SJDM) took over the local water distribution system from PrimeWater Infrastructure Corp. amid a prolonged supply crisis affecting an estimated 250,000 residents. Following a due-diligence review of qualified operators, the city signed a two-month Operations and Maintenance Agreement with Metro Pacific Water on May 20, 2026, and MPW — operating locally as Metro Pacific Bulacan Water (MPBW) — formally began interim operations on June 5, 2026.
