The system was built through a joint undertaking of the Japan Asian Friendship Society and the Local Government of Pandan. The system basically draws water from a spring located in Malumpati and pumps it to a reservoir located in Sto. Rosario. It then distributes water by gravity to its concessionaires. It has a present capacity of supplying 540,000 liters per day. Domestic consumption is the most common use of this system wherein it has 1,132 concessionaires at present.
Other barangays not covered by the Pandan Water District depends its water supply through gravity type spring development projects wherein communal faucets were installed in strategic locations within their respective community.
Level I systems exist in areas where other sources are not available. Prior to the operation of the Level III system, Level I systems were popularly used by most of the households in the municipality. At present, these are still maintained as a back-up source of water supply.
