Pamana Water Corporation - Dagupan City
PAMANANG PAALALA 🛎️
Ukol sa pansamantalang pagkawala ng kuryente

Ang pansamantalang pagkawala ng kuryente ay maaaring magdulot ng paghina ng pressure ng tubig.

May mga nakahandang generator sa mga pumping station na pansamantalang magpapatakbo sa aming mga pasilidad kung sakaling mawalan ng kuryente.

Maaari po nating hintayin lamang ng ilang oras para sa "pressure build-up" hanggang sa bumalik sa normal ang daloy ng tubig.

Hinihimok po namin ang aming mga mahal na consumer na mag-imbak ng tubig para sa pang-emergency na gamit sa ganitong mga sitwasyon.

Barangay Lasip Grande, April 23, 2026 — Dagupan City is once again proving that progress flows where vision leads. With shovels hitting the soil and hope rising in the air, the groundbreaking ceremony for the City’s 26th active pumping station marked not just another milestone, but a powerful promise of cleaner, stronger, and more reliable water for thousands of residents.

The ceremony was graced by the city’s leaders and partners in progress: Hon. Vice-Mayor Dean Bryan L. Kua, Hon. City Councilor Danee B. Canto, Hon. Lasip Grande Barangay Captain Armando T. Capito, DCWD General Manager Gretchen G. Buena, PAMANA Branch Manager Glenn T. Gomez, alongside DCWD and PAMANA employees, Barangay Council members, and proud residents of Lasip Grande. Their presence underscored the collective spirit behind this achievement.

At the heart of this initiative is the dynamic and visionary leadership of Hon. Mayor Belen T. Fernandez, whose shared plan for Dagupan City continues to transform aspirations into tangible progress.

With every drop that will soon flow from this station, DCWD and PAMANA reaffirms its pledge: to deliver progress straight to the taps of its people.
