Manila Water customers in the East Zone of Metro Manila continue to get 24/7 clean and potable water which is made possible the investments in service improvement projects (PHP181 billion) and implementing mitigating measures.
WD News: In conjunction with the rollout of the P181-billion Service Improvement Plan being implemented this year until 2027, Manila Water is executing contingency and augmentation projects to secure uninterrupted water services in summers.
The Cardona Treatment Plant in Rizal is currently maximising its operations to accommodate treatment of up to 110 million litres per day (MLD) supplying clean and potable water to several towns in Rizal.
The company has tapped other auxiliary sources such as Marikina River through the 15 to 20-MLD Marikina Water Portable Treatment Plant and the 20-MLD Wawa-Calawis Water Supply System in Antipolo. At Laguna Lake, the East Bay Water Supply System Project Phase 1 is expected to contribute 50 MLD for municipalities in Rizal.
The Novaliches-Balara Aqueduct 4 in Quezon City (NBAQ 4) will convey 1,000 million litres per day (MLD) from La Mesa reservoir.
A backwash recovery program in the two water treatment plants in Balara, Quezon City is being implemented. The process, which involves re-treating the water treatment byproduct, resulted to the plants treating an average of 24.7 MLD. This is a 13 MLD increase from last year’s 11.6 MLD.
