In celebration of the 2024 Global Handwashing Day (GHD), West Zone concessionaire Maynilad Water Services, Inc. (Maynilad) engaged 600 students and 60 teachers from nine public schools, promoting the importance of proper health and hygiene practices.

Maynilad, in partnership with the Department of Education (DepEd) and local governments of Pasay and Quezon City, organized interactive activities that encouraged the youth to adopt lifelong hygiene habits, with a focus on proper handwashing as a key preventive measure against illness.

As part of its commitment to fostering healthy communities, Maynilad donated handwashing stations and hygiene kits to the schools, ensuring students have the resources to maintain these habits. Additionally, the company conducted water and hygiene education workshops to increase students’ appreciation for the value of water and inspire environmental responsibility.

“Our dedication to promoting proper hygiene and water conservation extends beyond Global Handwashing Day. We implement these programs year-round because we believe that building healthier communities and ensuring access to safe water are essential to achieving a sustainable future,” said Maynilad’s Corporate Affairs and Communication Head Marie Antonette H. De Ocampo.

Global Handwashing Day is an international advocacy that emphasizes the importance of washing hands with water and soap as a simple yet effective way to prevent illnesses such as diarrhea and pneumonia. Celebrated every October, GHD is observed in over 1 million schools across 100 countries, engaging more than 200 million people worldwide.

Maynilad completes 19.69-km pipe replacement project in North Caloocan

by Info @Brand Zone | Oct. 17, 2024

West Zone concessionaire Maynilad Water Services, Inc. (Maynilad) has completed the replacement of 19.69 kilometers of old and undersized pipes in the northern part of Caloocan City, helping to enhance service reliability in the area.

The Php191-million project involves replacing the 23-year-old pipes in Barangay Bagong Silang, which have developed leaks and caused low water pressure. The new pipes, with a larger diameter, will be able to carry more water to meet the increased demand from the city’s growing population.

Expected to be fully commissioned within October 2024, these new pipelines will boost water pressure in the area from below 7psi (pounds per square inch) to as high as 16 psi for around 38,000 customers in the area. At 16 psi, water supply can reach the third storey of a structure without the aid of a booster pump.

This pipe replacement project also enabled Maynilad to recover around 5 MLD (million liters per day) of potable water that had previously been lost through leaks in the aging distribution system. This water volume recovery translates to additional water supply for some 33,500 individuals. 

“This project is a crucial step in ensuring that our infrastructure can keep pace with the growing demand of the city’s expanding population. By upgrading these old pipes to large ones, we are not only reducing water losses but also improving the distribution system to deliver more reliable water service to our customers,” said Maynilad President and CEO Ramoncito S. Fernandez.

Maynilad has allocated Php4 billion in 2024 for various pipe replacement projects in Caloocan, Valenzuela, Quezon City, Manila, Makati, Pasay, Parañaque, Las Piñas, Muntinlupa, and Imus.

Maynilad is the largest private water concessionaire of Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS) in the Philippines in terms of customer base. Its service area includes the cities of Manila (all but portions of San Andres and Sta. Ana), Quezon City, Makati, Caloocan, Pasay, Parañaque, Las Piñas, Muntinlupa, Valenzuela, Navotas, and Malabon, all in Metro Manila; and the cities of Cavite, Bacoor, and Imus, and the towns of Kawit, Noveleta, and Rosario, all in the province of Cavite.
