The San Jose Del Monte City Water District (San Jose Water) is a government-owned and controlled corporation established on July 22, 1980 by virtue of PD 198, as amended, otherwise known as the Provincial Water Utilities Act of 1973. It is a Category A water district serving the country’s 19th most populated city, the City of San Jose Del Monte.

San Jose Water started with only 200 service connections, carried over from the old municipal waterworks system it replaced. In its early years, San Jose Water was beset with problems typical of small water districts such as water turbidity and scarcity, and lack of financial resources to expand the service.

As a stop-gap measure and to appease the growing discontent of the customers, San Jose Water implemented the Tawid-Uhaw Project in the early ‘90s – structures made up of two communal metered faucets funded by the local government and civic organizations.

In 1995,San Jose Water was able to secure a P154-million from the French and Philippine governments for the implementation of the Comprehensive Water Supply Improvement Project Phase I. In 1997, the first Water Treatment Plant (WTP) of San Jose Water was completed and inaugurated at Bgy. Minuyan.

Early in 2006, San Jose Water implemented its Comprehensive Water Supply Improvement Project Phase II which was funded by the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC). Under this project, San Jose Water’s second WTP, with a capacity to treat 30,000 cumd, was constructed.

Now with 126,000 active service connections, San Jose Water is one of the largest water districts in the country, serving all 62 barangays in the city.

San Jose Water is now implementing a comprehensive septage management program after the City Government passed an ordinance in 2012 authorizing San Jose Water to collect septage in the city and treat and dispose the same according to prevailing environmental standards. The fully mechanized treatment facilities, which were completed in 2015 and 2019, can accommodate a total of 120 cum septage daily.

Recently, San Jose Water partnered with PrimeWater Infrastructure Corp. for the financing, development, rehabilitation, expansion, improvement, operation and maintenance of the water supply and septage management systems of San Jose Water.
