To give a short background, BWSI is a private water utility offering water supply and distribution to 60 franchises in municipalities and subdivisions in the provinces of Pampanga, Bulacan, Tarlac, Nueva Ecija, Pangasinan, Nueva Vizcaya, Aurora, Benguet, Laguna, Batangas, Bohol, Iloilo and Ilocos. The company was established in 1958 by the Porac family in Brgy Balibago in Angeles City and Brgy. Dau in Mabalacat, Pampanga. In 1998, a group of investors led by Michael Escaler and Cristino Panlilio bought BWSI from the Santos family and expanded the business throughout Central Luzon and most recently the Visayas.
Today, BWSI provides running water to more than 200,000 households throughout its franchise areas. BWSI works closely with the National Water Resources Board (NWRB) in the pursuit of improving potable water supply in the countryside which is likewise one of the priority goals of the national government. The NWRB considers BWSI the largest and most efficiently operated provincial privately owned waterworks system in the country. The awarding and granting of franchises were made possible by BWSI’s outstanding reputation of being able to deliver the best water service possible.
On Corporate Social Responsibility, BWSI supervises, en gratis, the 3H Grant Waterworks project of the Rotary Club of Makati. The 3H programme of Rotary International seeks to provide service to the needy through non-profit ventures addressing humanitarian, health and hunger needs. Through BWSI’s support, the project has been able to sustain itself and even grow from one branch to two branches. It is currently serving more than 1,000 low income families in Pampanga and Tarlac.
