Water firm bares project to supply islands in Camotes, Or. Neg., Leyte
Cebu-grown water technology solutions provider Mactan Rock Industries Inc. (MRII) is initiating the move to supply water in some remote islands in the region as part of the company’s missionary projects.
The company is now in the process of completing its water supply project for the islands of Kinatarcan in Sta. Fe, Camotes, Cebu; Apo Island in Dauin, Oriental Negros and Limasawa Island in Southern Leyte.
Non-earning
“The company may not be earning on these projects in the next five years. But we are humbly honored to start the ball of investments rolling in these islands with the availability of potable water supply, a very important component of business,” he said in an interview.
Tompar said the company’s total investment in the projects is about P6 million.
The 20-year water supply contracts in the three islands will make use of brackish water from the wells, which will be treated with the use of the brackish reverse osmosis system.
The water cost is about P3 per 20-liter pail.
Tompar said MRII aims to finish the projects by the end of the year.
Companies
MRII is now serving the water needs of more than 350 companies nationwide. It is the first company in Asia that introduced the desalination process, which purifies sea water turning it into potable water.
The company is serving the Waterfront hotels in Cebu, Mactan, Davao and Manila; Westin Philippine Plaza Hotel; International Port in Manila; Kraft Foods and the City State Building in Mandaluyong, among others. (JBN)
