West Zone concessionaire Maynilad Water Services Inc. is now delivering piped-in water to approximately 10.5 million people as of the first quarter of 2025, the company announced in a statement Thursday.
“We remain focused on expanding access and sustaining service levels as demand rises. It’s a long-term commitment that supports both water security and the well-being of the communities we serve,” said Maynilad president and chief executive Ramoncito Fernandez.
As of March 2025, Maynilad had 1,556,603 active water service connections, up by 77.8 percent from 2006, and covering 94.7 percent of the West Zone.
About 96.8 percent of Maynilad customers enjoy a 24-hour water supply, a sharp rise from just 32 percent in 2006.
Similarly, 96.8 percent of customers now receive water at an average pressure of at least 7 pounds per square inch (psi), the minimum needed to push water up to a second-floor structure, compared to only 45 percent in 2006.
Since its re-privatization in 2007, Maynilad has replaced 3,293 kilometers of aging pipelines, equivalent to roughly 72 percent of the network it inherited, in a bid to reduce water losses and enhance system reliability.
Maynilad is the largest private water concessionaire in the Philippines in terms of customer base. It serves the West Zone of the Greater Manila Area under a concession agreement with the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS).
