The partnership will soon construct a new deep well (PS11) with a capacity of 2,000 cubic meters per, which will benefit 6,000 concessionaires of the Laoag City proper through increased water pressure and water availability, especially in preparation for the upcoming summer season.

She added that she is “very supportive” and “confident” that the partnership can provide for the water needs of the people of Laoag and to that of the Province of Ilocos Norte.
