West zone concessionaire Maynilad Water Services, Inc. (Maynilad) said Monday it cleaned 272 kilometers of sewer lines in the first six months of 2024, representing over 54 percent of its annual target of 500 kilometers.
“Regular maintenance of our sewer lines is essential to preventing issues that could impact public health. Our commitment to cleaning and maintaining our sewerage systems ensures that wastewater is effectively managed and treated, in line with our mandate to provide reliable services to our customers,” said Maynilad wastewater management division head Zmel Grabillo.
This prevents potential public health issues and safeguards both community health and the environment.
