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.

Maynilad advances construction of Php4.84-Billion sewage treatment facility in Las Piñas

West Zone concessionaire Maynilad Water Services, Inc. (Maynilad) is making progress on its Php4.84-billion Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) in Las Piñas City, a vital project aimed at expanding wastewater services and contributing to the rehabilitation of Manila Bay.

Now 33% complete, the Las Piñas WRF is slated to begin operations by July 2026. Once operational, it will treat up to 88 million liters of wastewater per day, serving approximately 360,000 residents across 20 barangays in Las Piñas City. Treated wastewater from this facility will be safely discharged into the Zapote River, which flows into Manila Bay, helping to reduce pollution and improve water quality.

Strategically located in Barangay Pamplona Uno, the Las Piñas WRF will utilize advanced Anaerobic-Anoxic-Oxic (A2O) technology to effectively remove pollutants. The facility is designed to meet the Water Quality Guidelines and General Effluent Standards of 2016 (DAO 2016-08), as mandated by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).

“Our construction timeline was unfortunately delayed by pandemic restrictions in 2020, but we resumed work in 2023 with renewed focus. This project reinforces our commitment to providing reliable wastewater services for our customers and easing the pollution burden on Manila Bay,” said Maynilad President and CEO Ramoncito S. Fernandez.

The Las Piñas WRF is part of Maynilad’s larger program to accelerate the rollout of sewerage and sanitation services in Metro Manila. The project is financed through a partnership with the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and the Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP).

Since 2007, Maynilad has invested over Php46.4 billion in enhancing the wastewater infrastructure across its concession area. The company currently operates 22 Sewage Treatment Plants, two Sewage and Septage Treatment Plants, and one Septage Treatment Plant, with a combined treatment capacity of approximately 724,000 cubic meters per day.

This latest facility is a testament to Maynilad’s continued dedication to environmental sustainability and public health through improved wastewater management.
