Bulk Water Supply Project in Cagayan de Oro City

The COWD Bulk Water Supply Project in Cagayan de Oro City was constructed in 2005-2006. It has been operating normally since January 2007. The infrastructure is designed for 150,000 m3/day of potable water production.

The source of the raw water is the Bubunauan River at Pualas, Baungon, Bukidnon. The infiltration gallery serves as the preliminary water treatment system. The collected clear water is pumped to the chemical treatment system to produce WHO-standard quality potable water. The water is treated with coagulants/flocculants and chlorine. The potable water then flows by gravity to the off-take point through the 0.90 meter pipeline stretching 6 kilometers. The total length of pipeline is eight (8) kilometers.
