The Groundbreaking Ceremony for the Seawater Desalination Plant Project in Lapu-Lapu City, led by Summa Water Resources, Inc. (SWRI) through its subsidiary CSWater Lapu-Lapu, Inc.

This event represents a pivotal milestone in our collective pursuit of sustainable water management solutions and marks the commencement of efforts to ensure a reliable water supply for the city of Lapu-Lapu.

This project is a vital response to the city's growing water needs.

The project is being developed under a Joint Venture Agreement for Bulk Water Supply, signed between the City of Lapu-Lapu and CSWLL/SWRI on June 21, 2019. The official Notice to Proceed was issued by Mayor Junard “Ahong” Chan on May 13, 2024, marking the formal commencement of this transformative project.
