Apo Agua and DCWD are joint venture partners in the DCBWSP. The partnership is divided into two vital components: Part A is led by Apo Agua and involves the production of water supply, it involves the construction of Raw Water Intake facilities, Water Treatment Plant, and Treated Water Pipelines. Part B is managed by DCWD, and involves the distribution of water supply to consumers, focusing on tapping and interconnecting pipes, installing reservoirs, and laying distribution lines.
The DCBWSP enables the DCWD to augment its current groundwater sources with the sustainably sourced surface water of the Tamugan River, allowing the DCWD to recharge the majority of its wells, responding to Davao City’s rapid growth, and protecting it from environmental degradation, land subsidence, and saltwater intrusion.
