The Dagupan City Water District (DCWD) has successfully conducted the first phase of its equipment inventory across its pumping stations, partnering with PAMANA WATER for this vital initiative. This activity, which took place on October 29, 2024, encompassed 10 of the 24 pumping stations located in Barangays Mangin-Clores, Mangin-Paras, Salisay 1, Salisay 2, Bolosan 1, Bolosan 2, AB Fernandez East, Nable Pantal, Nepo Mall Arellano, and Tambac.
The conduct of equipment inventories is a critical process for government agencies, particularly for DCWD, which is currently in a Joint Venture Agreement (JVA) with PAMANA WATER. This collaboration emphasizes the importance of regularly checking and monitoring the conditions of equipment to ensure the delivery of quality and sufficient water supply to the residents of Dagupan City.
By systematically assessing our equipment, this can identify any maintenance needs or potential upgrades, ensuring that the services remain reliable and efficient. This inventory is not just about accountability; it’s about safeguarding the infrastructure to better serve our community.
Additionally, the DCWD Construction and Maintenance Division has required monthly pump testing to assess the performance and efficiency of pumps and motors, further supporting the goal of sustainable and resilient water services for Dagupan City.
These activities reflect the partnership between DCWD and PAMANA WATER, both of which are committed to the same overarching goal: to provide high-quality water supply in Dagupan City. Furthermore, this collaboration aims to enhance preparedness for natural calamities and disasters, ensuring that the water supply system remains resilient in the face of challenges.
The next phase of the inventory is already in the planning stages and is scheduled for next month, demonstrating the ongoing commitment of the Joint Venture to continually improve and adapt the operations and services.
As Dagupan City faces potential natural calamities, proactive measures such as these inventories are essential in maintaining a robust and responsive water supply system for the community.
