West Zone concessionaire Maynilad Water Services, Inc. (Maynilad) has increased its water production capacity by approximately 315 million liters per day (MLD) in 2024, reinforcing its ability to sustain uninterrupted water service as the country enters the summer season.
This comes as the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS), in coordination with the National Water Resources Board (NWRB), took proactive measures to ensure Angat Dam was adequately filled earlier this year, securing sufficient raw water supply for the dry months. To complement this effort, Maynilad has implemented several key initiatives to enhance water production and strengthen service reliability.
Among the major accomplishments in 2024 are:
- Expansion of the Poblacion Water Treatment Plant (WTP) in Muntinlupa, which now provides around 150 MLD.
- An additional 20 MLD from the Laguna Lake Modular Treatment Plant, reinforcing the output of Putatan WTP 1 & 2.
- Intensified pipe replacement and leak repair efforts, allowing Maynilad to recover more water and reduce system losses.
- Commissioning of the Anabu Modular Treatment Plant (ModTP), which now contributes 12 MLD of potable water sourced from the Imus River.
- Reactivation and construction of deep wells, tapping additional groundwater sources to augment supply.
“With these production enhancements, we are well-prepared to meet increased water demand this summer,” said Maynilad Chief Operating Officer Randolph T. Estrellado. “Our continued investments in treatment facilities, deep wells, and network improvements ensure reliable water service for our customers, even during peak demand periods.”
Maynilad remains committed to long-term infrastructure development and operational efficiency to enhance water security across its concession area.
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 (west of San Juan River, West Avenue, EDSA, Congressional, Mindanao Avenue, the northern part starting from the Districts of Holy Spirit and Batasan Hills), Makati (west of South Super Highway), Caloocan, Pasay, Parañaque, Las Piñas, Muntinlupa, Valenzuela, Navotas, and Malabon, all in Metro Manila; and the cities of Cavite, Bacoor, and Imus, and the municipalities of Kawit, Noveleta, and Rosario, all in the province of Cavite.
