West zone concessionaire Maynilad Water Services Inc. boosted its water production capacity by 315 million liters per day (MLD) in 2024, ensuring uninterrupted supply as the country enters the dry season.
This follows proactive measures by the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS) and the National Water Resources Board (NWRB) to secure Angat Dam’s water levels.
“With these upgrades, we are well-prepared to meet rising water demand this summer,” said Maynilad chief operating officer Randolph Estrellado, emphasizing continued investments in infrastructure for reliable service.
To support this effort, Maynilad enhanced production and service reliability through several key initiatives.
The Poblacion Water Treatment Plant in Muntinlupa was expanded, increasing its output to 150 MLD. Another 20 MLD is now supplied by the Laguna Lake Modular Treatment Plant, further reinforcing the capacity of Putatan WTP 1 and 2.
Leak repairs and pipe replacements were intensified, allowing Maynilad to recover more water and reduce system losses.
The newly commissioned Anabu Modular Treatment Plant contributes 12 MLD of potable water sourced from the Imus River.
Maynilad also reactivated and constructed deep wells to tap into groundwater sources and further augment the water supply.
Maynilad, the largest private MWSS concessionaire, serves key areas in Metro Manila and Cavite.
