The expansion of its water treatment capabilities to two million gallons per day signifies the corporation's commitment to meeting the demands of a growing population.
Senate Resolution No. 403 recognizes the Olmito Water Supply Corporation on the occasion of its 50th anniversary.

The resolution highlights the corporation's significant growth and its contribution to improving the quality of life for local residents, indicating its dedication to serving the community's needs over the years.
