PROFILE OF SAN JOSE WATERWORKS SERVICE COOPERATIVE
The San Jose Waterworks Service Cooperative was formerly known as San Jose Water System. It was built and designed in the early 1900’s to originally serve only 300 households in the Municipality of San Jose. As time went by, consumers increased to more than 1,000 households and resulted to shortage of water supply thereby producing dry faucets and empty containers, particularly during summertime. The San Jose Water System then was in dire need of repairs and improvement
Luckily, in 1984 the Barangay Water Program (BWP) of Ministry of Local Government (MLG) received a P16.36 million as grant from USAID for spring development, installation of water pumps, transmission and distribution lines, and construction of pump house, reservoir, and water meters for 1,200 households for San Jose Water System with a target of 1,703 households for eight (8) poblacion barangays.
Presently it has six (6) pumping stations servicing almost 10,823 households as of December 2021 in 27 barangays of San Jose de Buenavista, Antique. It has 265 regular Coop members, 10,558 associate members and 60 staff complement.
