The Western Visayas Water Utilities Summit 2026 brings together local water districts, private water service providers, real estate groups with dedicated water utility companies, government representatives, and industry partners for a timely discussion on strengthening the region’s water sector.
As Western Visayas continues to grow, water utilities face increasing demands to improve water security, financial sustainability, operational efficiency, and customer service. The Summit will focus on practical strategies and solutions that utilities can apply—from addressing water losses and accessing capital to modernizing operations through smart metering, better billing and collections, and reliable payment systems.
