AT THE PEN POINT OF THE GENERAL MANAGER

      Amidst the joint venture the Daraga Water District has indulged in, the purpose for which the agency had been created did not diminish. When DAWD entered into a partnership with a private entity, Primewater, pursuant to the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) scheme of the government, its role only scrubbed the operations aspect. The technical diligence and financial astuteness necessary in the administration of the water district functions remain steadfast. While it is Primewater at the forefront of the water supply service, DAWD at the rear formulates policies ensuring that the interest of the public is not set aside. It monitors the operations to guarantee faithful performance by Primewater of its obligations stipulated in the joint venture agreement. In coordination with its private partner, DAWD also undertakes strategic planning, asset management supervision and enforces compliance measures upon Primewater in resolving customer concerns. A periodic review of Primewater’s performance is also conducted by the DAWD Contract Monitoring Unit (CMU) if only to safeguard the stake of the government that is entrusted to Daraga Water District under Presidential Decree No. 198 as amended. Ultimately, we still are in continuous quest for the dependability of the service in general and reliability of water supply in particular. This is an assurance to our stakeholders, especially our valued consumers in the municipality of Daraga.
