Pili Water District has maintained its ISO 9001:2015 certification after it successfully passed the onsite 2nd Surveillance Audit conducted last December 3, 2022.

The District’s adoption of a quality management system is a strategic decision that aims to improve its overall performance and to provide a sound basis for its sustainable development initiatives.

The District passed the audit with three (3) positive findings, ten (10) recommendations and opportunities for improvement, and zero non-conformity issued by TÜV Rheinland Philippines, Inc., a globally recognized certifying body for ISO standards.

TÜV Rheinland Philippines found the following awards and recognitions praiseworthy: 1. recognition awarded by the Civil Service Commission of PIWAD’s delivery of exemplary public service, through tireless commitment, resiliency, and priceless contributions of its frontliners amidst the COVID-19 pandemic; 2. recognition given by Freedom of Information- Project Management Office (FOI-PM) during the 2022 FOI Awards for exemplifying great progress and performance in the implementation of the FOI program of the government; and 3. Bronze Award conferred by CSC for having managed and implemented its human resource management systems according to documented processes achieving a process-defined HRM under the Enhanced Program to Institutionalize Meritocracy and Excellence in Human Resource Management (PRIME-HRM).
