Manila Water expands sewer services with additional 51-km sewer network
Currently, the construction of the Mandaluyong West Sewer Network Package 1 is already underway in Barangay Hulo, Mandaluyong City. This is part of Manila Water’s massive 51-KM sewer network project.
Manila Water is embarking on a massive sewer project to improve sanitation and promote a cleaner environment for communities in Metro Manila.
It is called Mandaluyong West–San Juan South–Quezon City South Sewer Project worth P4.2-billion.
The project forms part of the company’s mandate to provide quality sanitation to its growing number of 7.6 million customers in the East Zone of Metro Manila and parts of Rizal.
This 51-kilometer combined sewer system will have a 60-million-liter-per-day (MLD) capacity sewage treatment plant.
It is expandable to 120 MLD.
The network will be supported by 1 major pump station, 13 lift stations, 276 interceptor boxes, and a 16-channel interceptor.
The sewers are expected to serve 704,260 additional residents in Mandaluyong, San Juan, and Quezon City by 2037.
Through its 25 years of service, the water concessionaire has already gained considerable ground in its wastewater service in the East Zone with 41 wastewater treatment facilities.
These stations have a total treatment capacity of 410 MLD, a 1,025% increased capacity from 1997.
“Wastewater management is an integral part of Manila Water’s sustainability efforts. We have the responsibility of augmenting our wastewater services to reach more customers, and as a result, lessening our environmental impact,” Manila Water Corporate Communications Affairs Group Director Jeric Sevilla said.
Currently, the construction of the Mandaluyong West Sewer Network Package 1 is underway in Barangay Hulo, Mandaluyong City.
To lessen impact on traffic along affected roads– Coronado St., F. Blumentritt St., Private Road, Saniboy St., and San Francisco St, the project employs micro-tunneling technology.
This is instead of conventional open-trench pipelaying.
Construction in these affected roads is expected to be completed by August 2023.
