West zone concessionaire Maynilad Water Services Inc. (Maynilad) is gearing up for the testing and commissioning of its P1.6-billion water reclamation facility (WRF) and sewer conveyance system in Barangay Cupang, Muntinlupa City, signaling the facility’s readiness for full operational deployment by the end of the year.
“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 chief executive Ramoncito Fernandez.
The Cupang Water Reclamation Facility is designed to treat up to 46 million liters of wastewater daily using conventional activated sludge technology.
The advanced system effectively removes pollutants from wastewater, contributing significantly to environmental protection and ecosystem health.
Once fully operational, the facility will serve about 33,000 residents in Barangays Sucat, Buli, Cupang and Bayanan in Muntinlupa, ensuring proper treatment of wastewater before its safe discharge back into the environment.
The Cupang WRF is part of Maynilad’s broader efforts to enhance sewerage services in Muntinlupa City. Alongside this facility, the company is also nearing completion of the Tunasan Water Reclamation Facility.
Together, the two major projects will significantly increase sewerage coverage in the area, supporting Maynilad’s mission to deliver sustainable water and wastewater solutions for its customers.
As the Philippines’ largest private water concessionaire by customer base, Maynilad serves the west zone of the Greater Manila Area that includes portions of Manila, Quezon City, and Makati, as well as Caloocan, Pasay, Parañaque, Las Piñas, Muntinlupa, Valenzuela, Navotas and Malabon in Metro Manila. In Cavite province, Maynilad covers the cities of Cavite, Bacoor and Imus and the towns of Kawit, Noveleta and Rosario.
