LWUA submits report of its probe into PrimeWater to Marcos' office

The Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA) has submitted its report to the Office of the President as regards its investigation into the operations of water service provider PrimeWater.

Palace Press Officer Undersecretary Atty. Claire Castro said in a briefing the report includes documents contained in two balikbayan boxes.

''Opo. Nakatanggap na rin po tayo siguro nakalimutan ko lang pong dalhin, ipapakita ko po sana sa inyo isang folder po siya ang report at dalawang boxes ng balikbayan boxes – ganoon karami,'' Castro said.

(Yes. We also received a copy and I just forgot to bring it. I wanted to show you the folder and two balikbayan boxes.)

''So, nabigyan po tayo ng kopya kahapon at nabigyan na rin po ang Office of the President at ito po ay aaralin. Asahan ninyo po na mabilisan pong aaralin ito para sa mga consumers po ng PrimeWater,'' she added.

(We've received a copy and the Office of the President also received it and this will be studied. I guarantee that the study will be done immediately for the consumers of PrimeWater.)

If needed, legal actions will be undertaken once the OP finishes studying LWUA's report, Castro said.

No further details were given by the Palace official.

President Ferdinand ''Bongbong'' Marcos Jr. had ordered an investigation into the operations of PrimeWater Infrastructure Corp. due to numerous service-related complaints.

Castro had said the Marcos administration does not tolerate insufficiency of services, noting that the needs of the public must always be provided.

For its part, the water service provider had vowed to be open to any meaningful dialogue that will resolve concerns as it also affirmed it is committed to cooperating with LWUA. — BAP, GMA Integrated News
