regular maintenance of its wastewater facilities and sewer networks to help minimize

Maynilad steps up rainy season support to keep wastewater flowing

While Maynilad operates year-round, inspections and declogging efforts are heightened during the wet months to help prevent sewer overflows and support flood mitigation. As of June 2025, Maynilad has cleaned over 285 kilometers of sewer lines and cleared more than 3,500 sewer manholes to ensure the smooth flow of wastewater to treatment facilities.

West Zone concessionaire Maynilad Water Services, Inc. (Maynilad) is ramping up its wastewater operations this rainy season to prevent sewer overflows and support flood mitigation, while continuing its year-round efforts to maintain a clean and efficient sewer network.

While Maynilad’s wastewater operations run year-round, the company deploys additional teams and intensifies sewer inspections and declogging activities during the rainy season to address increased risks of blockages and overflows.

These activities are especially critical in areas with combined or hybrid sewer systems, where stormwater mixes with wastewater, often bringing in trash and debris that can clog interceptor boxes, manholes, and sewer lines. Interceptor boxes are installed at the end of drainage lines to catch combined flows and divert wastewater to Maynilad’s sewer network for proper treatment.

As of June 2025, Maynilad has cleaned over 285 kilometers of sewer lines and cleared more than 3,500 sewer manholes. Preventive maintenance ensures that wastewater is conveyed properly to treatment plants and prevents sewer overflows that may worsen during heavy rains.

“Interceptor boxes are installed at the end of drainage lines to catch combined flows and divert wastewater to our sewer network for proper treatment,” explained Maynilad Wastewater Management Head Engr. Zmel D. Grabillo. “Unfortunately, these systems can get blocked by trash that’s swept into drainages during floods.”

Maynilad has prioritized combined-sewer areas such as Quezon City, Pasay, Parañaque, and Valenzuela, where more frequent maintenance is needed during the wet season.

Although Maynilad does not clean storm drains—which fall under the jurisdiction of local government units—its work in maintaining the sewer network helps ease pressure on drainage systems, indirectly contributing to flood prevention.

The company continues to coordinate with LGUs and other stakeholders to protect sewer infrastructure and ensure public health and environmental safety.

“We ask the public to be responsible with waste disposal,” added Engr. Grabillo. “Even small acts like properly segregating trash can help prevent blockages that cause flooding.”
