Poro Point Summa Water, Inc. (PPSWI), a MacroAsia Group subsidiary, has begun operations at its desalination plant in the Poro Point Freeport Zone (PPFZ) in San Fernando City, La Union.
The company said Thursday the plant now provides locators with a potable water supply, supporting business continuity and resilience in an area that previously lacked a dedicated water utility.
“Commercial water supply has commenced to Poro Point Agro-Industrial Development Company, Inc., the facility’s first offtake customer,” PPSWI said, signaling the facility’s readiness to serve the economic zone.
The project is MacroAsia’s entry into essential water infrastructure, diversifying into utility investments that generate stable, long-term cash flows while supporting government development objectives.
Built with modular expansion capability, the plant can meet the growing water needs of Freeport Zone locators and potentially nearby communities, subject to regulatory approvals.
Poro Point Summa Water, Inc. is wholly owned by Summa Water Resources, Inc., which is 60 percent owned by Allied Water Services, Inc., a MacroAsia subsidiary.
