During a meeting yesterday, Bacolod Bulk Water, Inc. (BBWI) Chairman Ryan Yapkianwee said his company is looking to expand their delivery services throughout Negros Occidental, however, he noted they do not yet have any formal arrangements with other local government units outside of Bacolod City.

“We are open to expansion, but our commitment is to fix the water supply of Bacolod,” he said.

Yapkianwee pointed out, with their bulk water supply facility located in Murcia, they could make an offer to the municipality.

“We just offered, but we will not distribute to houses [directly] in the future,” he said.

The BBWI chair added, a small pumping area could be set up, where residents can extract water themselves.

“It’s not really delivering to the houses, but it’s still better than no water,” Yapkianwee emphasized./DGB, WDJ
