Tagbilaran City, Bohol — The University of Bohol (UB) proudly inaugurated its very own UWater Refilling Station on May 18th, 2025, marking another milestone in the institution’s commitment to sustainability, community development, and shared enterprise.
Strategically located within the university premises, the UWater Refilling Station is designed to provide safe, affordable, and high-quality drinking water to UB students, employees, and stakeholders. The initiative, fully owned and operated by the university, is a step forward in the realization of a self-sustaining UBian community.
During the opening ceremony, university officials emphasized the importance of supporting university-led ventures that serve both practical and developmental purposes. “This project is more than just a water station. It is a symbol of our vision for a resilient and empowered UBian community,” said a representative from UB Management.
In line with its mission of service, UB is offering a special discounted rate of Php 20.00 per 5 gallon container exclusively for UB employees, while the general public may avail of the service at Php 25.00 per 5 gallon container. This pricing scheme not only makes purified water accessible but also acknowledges the loyalty and contributions of the university’s personnel.
The launch was met with warm support from various departments and offices within the university. Invited university officials and office heads flocked to the station following the ribbon-cutting ceremony, signaling strong internal patronage.
UB Management urges all members of the UB family to continue supporting the UWater Refilling Station and to take pride in this new venture that underscores the university’s values of Scholarship, Character, and Service.
As the university continues to move forward in its mission to become a beacon of excellence and innovation, initiatives like the UWater Refilling Station show that UB is not only a center of learning but also a growing model of community-driven progress.
