Each drinking water system costs about $230, plus the annual cost of P2,900 to replace the filter.  The cooperative can sell the  clean water at 22 centavos a bottle compared to the P8 charged by bottled water companies. 


From the sale of water, the member-cooperative can pay back the loan. Whatever else is earned would be divided among  coop members at the end of the year.
