West Zone concessionaire Maynilad Water Services, Inc. (Maynilad) cleaned 542.13 kilometers of sewer lines in 2024, exceeding its 500-kilometer target by 8.43% to enhance wastewater flow and contribute to cleaner, healthier communities.

Maynilad spent ₱21.7 million on sewer line cleaning in 2024, covering key areas in Manila, Quezon City, Muntinlupa, Makati, Pasay, and Parañaque. Using high-powered sewer jetting and vacuum truck units, Maynilad efficiently removed blockages caused by improper waste disposal, such as wet wipes, plastics, grease, and construction debris. These efforts help prevent sewer overflows and ensure wastewater flows smoothly to treatment facilities.

The company also worked closely with local government units and national agencies to resolve access challenges, such as sewer manholes buried by asphalt pavements or damaged during road and drainage projects. These collaborations ensured that cleaning operations proceeded without delays.

“These cleaning efforts are essential to ensuring that wastewater from households reaches our treatment plants, where it is treated to meet environmental standards before being safely discharged into bodies of water,” said Engr. Zmel Grabillo, Maynilad’s Head of the Wastewater Management Division.

Beyond its sewer line cleaning efforts, Maynilad also provides septic tank desludging services to households in non-sewered areas at no additional cost, reinforcing its commitment to comprehensive wastewater management across its service area.
