Maynilad pipe replacement in South Caloocan nears completion

Date of Release: January 20, 2025

West Zone concessionaire Maynilad Water Services, Inc. (Maynilad) is in the final stages of completing its Php 330-million pipe replacement project in South Caloocan, which aims to enhance water pressure and reduce water losses in the area.

The project involves upgrading and replacing nearly 2 kilometers of aging and leaky secondary and tertiary pipelines along General San Miguel Avenue in Sangandaan, Caloocan City. Once completed within the year, the initiative is set to improve water pressure for over 55,000 customers—from the current 7 psi (pounds per square inch) to up to 16 psi. At this improved pressure level, water can reach the third floor of a structure without requiring a booster pump.

Additionally, the project is expected to recover approximately 2.25 million liters of potable water daily, which was previously lost due to pipeline leaks. This recovered water will be sufficient to meet the daily needs of around 15,000 households.

“This initiative is part of our Php 11.2-billion investment in pipe replacement projects from 2023 to 2027, aimed at reducing water losses and improving service reliability,” said Maynilad Chief Operating Officer Randolph T. Estrellado. “We remain committed to implementing infrastructure upgrades that ensure a more sustainable and reliable water supply for our customers.”

This pipe replacement project is one of Maynilad’s efforts to upgrade its water distribution network, improve operational efficiency, and ensure long-term water security for communities in the West Zone.

Maynilad is the largest private water concessionaire in the Philippines in terms of customer base. It is a concessionaire of the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS) for the West Zone of the Greater Manila Area, which is composed of the cities of Manila (certain portions), Quezon City (certain portions), Makati (west of South Super Highway), Caloocan, Pasay, Parañaque, Las Piñas, Muntinlupa, Valenzuela, Navotas and Malabon, all in Metro Manila; the cities of Cavite, Bacoor and Imus, and the towns of Kawit, Noveleta and Rosario, all in Cavite Province.
