This is the largest privatelyled water supply infrastructure project in the country's history, the firm said.

"The exceptional construction pace at Upper Wawa Dam showcases Prime Infra's com-

mitment to delivering on our commitments in developing water supply infrastructure at this scale. We are pleased that the project continues to be materially ahead of schedule. We take great pride in ensuring that we sustain this pace and do so safely by 2025," Prime Infra president and CEO Guillaume Lucci said.

The Upper Wawa Dam, which is the second phase of the Wawa Bulk Water Supply Project, is 70 percent complete as of this month.

The project's 85-meter roller-compacted concrete dam will be finished in a few months, followed by the completion of the rest of the plant.
