Manila Water is upgrading the Quezon Memorial Circle park’s water network by providing an additional 54 MSAs (meter service assemblies) in its facilities and recreational areas to boost business and visitor activities.
To support the Quezon City Government’s rehabilitation and greening project of the Quezon Memorial Circle (QMC), Manila Water is carrying out the construction of the 110-millimeter (mm) Mainline Extension Pipelaying Project.
As the redevelopment works in the 27-hectare national park are ongoing, the East Zone Concessionaire is upgrading the park’s water network by providing an additional 54 MSAs (meter service assemblies) in its facilities and recreational areas to boost business and visitor activities.
Completion and energization of the new waterline is expected by August this year.
With a project cost of over P8.7 million, the pipelaying project involves the installation of the 110-millimeter-diameter high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes spanning 1,880 linear meters throughout the Quezon Memorial Circle.
These pipes will also be interconnected to the existing 200-millimeter water line to further boost the water pressure around the area.

“We are always glad and eager to collaborate with local government units, especially when it comes to sustainability and greening projects. We share the belief with the QC Government that green spaces such as the Quezon Memorial Circle will contribute to better physical and mental health for its citizens.
“The company thanks the Quezon City Government led by Mayor Joy Belmonte for this opportunity,” Manila Water’s Corporate Communication Affairs Group Director Jeric Sevilla said.
Currently, excavations and pipelaying works are done during the nighttime to minimize disruption to the park’s operations.
