West zone concessionaire Maynilad Water Services Inc. is investing more than P6 billion to install 30 kilometers of sewer lines in Las Piñas City in the fourth quarter.
“We are determined to do our part in ensuring the proper treatment and disposal of wastewater in our concession area. Our commitment is such that we have allotted the largest portion of this year’s capital expenditure budget to wastewater management for programs aimed to protect the health and sanitation of our customers and the environment,” said Maynilad president and chief executive Ramoncito Fernandez.
The 30-km sewer conveyance, which is part of the planned 80-km sewerage system project for Las Piñas City, will be implemented in the four quarter of 2019.
Maynilad will utilize trenchless methodology for the project to minimize the impact on traffic of the pipe diggings. Once completed in 2021, the sewerage system will enable Maynilad to catch wastewater generated by some 600,000 customers in 20 barangays in the city and convey it to the Las Piñas Water Reclamation Facility for proper treatment.
