West Zone concessionaire Maynilad Water Services, Inc. (Maynilad) said Tuesday its P10.5-billion CAMANA (Caloocan-Malabon-Navotas) Water Reclamation Facility is 83 percent complete as of the last quarter of 2024.

“We are excited to announce that the construction of the CAMANA Water Reclamation Facility, our largest wastewater treatment plant, is nearing completion. This project is a testament to our commitment to expanding sewer coverage and fostering cleaner, healthier communities,” said Maynilad president and chief executive Ramoncito Fernandez.

The facility, located in Maypajo, Caloocan City, will enhance sewerage services in South Caloocan, Malabon, and Navotas, treating up to 205 million liters of wastewater daily.

It will serve approximately 1.2 million Maynilad customers, contributing to Manila Bay cleanup and improving local waterway health once operational in 2025.

The facility will utilize advanced modified Ludzack-Ettinger (MLE)-conventional activated sludge technology that will adhere to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) water quality guidelines.

This process will efficiently remove pollutants from wastewater before discharging it safely into Maypajo Creek, which flows into Manila Bay.

Maynilad is also laying 77 kilometers of sewer pipelines to collect wastewater from households and establishments in the three cities to support the facility.

The CAMANA facility is part of Maynilad’s broader effort to strengthen its wastewater management capabilities.

The company currently operates 23 wastewater treatment plants with a combined capacity of 684 million liters of wastewater per day.
