The project amounting to P345,257,601.71 Million was granted to Lorenzo Construction and Development Corporation which will execute and complete all the stipulated works in the contract. It is under the Balog-Balog Multipurpose Project II which envisions providing water supply for year round irrigation of about 39,150 hectares. Once finished, it will serve at least eight municipalities in Central Luzon including Concepcion, Gerona, Pura, Ramos, Paniqui, La Paz, Victoria and City of Tarlac all in the Province of Tarlac.
Balog-Balog Multipurpose Project is one of the big ticket projects of the current administration. Major features of the project are 113 meter high earth and rock fill dam with a storage capacity of 625 MCM. It similarly foresees to mitigate flooding in low-lying areas and to provide the upland communities with the opportunity to engage in inland fish production, and potential power generation. The main dam and reservoir is located at Bgy. Maamot, San Jose, Tarlac about 48 kms. west of the City of Tarlac.
