Maynilad pipeline

Maynilad Water Services Inc. starts the laying of a primary pipeline along Umali Street in Barangay Poblacion, Muntinlupa City in preparation for the construction of a new water treatment plant that will draw its supply from Laguna Lake—the company’s third such facility to be built since it began tapping the lake as source in 2010. The 1,800-mm-diameter line will convey water to be produced by the soon-to-rise Poblacion Water Treatment Plant—a P10-billion treatment facility that is part of Maynilad’s medium-term plan to produce additional supply so it can meet the growing water demand and ease over-reliance on Angat Dam.
