Of its current customers, 95% have 24-hour uninterrupted water supply—a dramatic increase from the 32%, which enjoyed the same service level in 2006.
Meanwhile, 99.6% of Maynilad customers now have water pressure of at least 7 pounds per square inch (psi), which is the required pressure for water to reach the second floor of a structure.
“Maynilad has come a long way in transforming water services in the West Zone. In the past six years, we have invested more than 41 billion pesos to modernize and expand our operations, and we are committed to spending more for the sake of the environment and our customers,” said Maynilad President and CEO Ricky P. Vargas.
