CWD was first given WSP Certificate of Acceptance way back 2019. This year’s re-certification manifests CWD’s true resolve through the years to continue and sustain the delivery of safe water to its concessionaires. It is good to note that in Casiguran, water consumers can still drink water direct from the tap.
WSP is also a requirement of the Department of Health (DOH) which considers water as health issue.
