BORACAY ISLAND: The Philippine Tourism Authority (PTA) is setting up necessary infrastructures to spur tourism and preserve the natural environment of the country’s premier tourist destination.
Aklan Rep. Florencio Miraflores said the PTA’s P90-million expansion of the centralized water supply and sewerage system in Boracay Island will improve the facilities for commercial establishments and residential consumers.
“The PTA considers the island one of their priority development areas. The expansion of the sewerage project further bolsters the position of the island as one of the best tropical beaches in the world,” he said.
The PTA finished two components of the P800-million Boracay Environmental Infrastructure Project (BEIP) through the 19th Yen Package from the Japan Bank for International Cooperation.
The operation and maintenance of the sewerage system is conducted by the Boracay Waterworks and Sewerage System (BWSS), which was established in December 2001 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the PTA.
“The expansion of BWSS services will accommodate commercial establishments availing of the centralized water and treatment plants connected with the PTA’s potable water supply,” Miraflores pointed out.
