West Zone concessionaire Maynilad Water Services, Inc. (Maynilad) is now preparing for the testing and commissioning of its new Php1.6-billion water reclamation facility (WRF) and sewer conveyance system in Barangay Cupang, Muntinlupa City. This marks a critical step toward bringing the facility into full operation by year-end.
Named the Cupang Water Reclamation Facility, this treatment plant has a design capacity to treat up to 46 million liters of wastewater per day. It utilizes Conventional Activated Sludge technology to effectively remove pollutants from wastewater, contributing to a cleaner ecosystem.
Once fully operational, it will serve approximately 33,000 customers across Barangays Sucat, Buli, Cupang, and Bayanan in Muntinlupa, ensuring that wastewater generated by these communities is properly treated before being discharged.
“Wastewater management is essential to safeguarding both public health and the environment, which is why we continue to invest in projects that ensure the proper treatment and disposal of wastewater. The construction of this new WRF in Cupang, Muntinlupa, is part of our long-term strategy to expand sewerage services across the entire West Zone,” said Maynilad President and CEO Ramoncito S. Fernandez.
In addition to the Cupang Water Reclamation Facility, Maynilad is nearing completion of the Tunasan Water Reclamation Facility, another major WRF in Muntinlupa. Together, these two facilities will substantially increase Maynilad’s sewerage coverage in the city, ultimately advancing the company’s mission to provide sustainable solutions for its customers.
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.
