MANILA, Philippines — Maynilad Water Services Inc. (Maynilad) announced on Thursday that it is preparing to test and commission a new P1.6 billion water reclamation facility (WRF) and sewer conveyance system in Barangay Cupang, Muntinlupa City.
In a statement posted on their website, Maynilad said the water reclamation facility is designed to treat up to 46 million liters of wastewater daily and is expected to become fully operational by the end of 2024.
“Once fully operational, it will serve approximately 33,000 customers across Barangays Sucat, Buli, Cupang and Bayanan in Muntinlupa, ensuring that wastewater generated by these communities is properly treated before being discharged,” Maynilad explained.
Maynilad President and Chief Executive Officer Ramoncito Fernandez underscored the importance of wastewater management in the country to protect public health and the environment.
“We continue to invest in projects that ensure the proper treatment and disposal of wastewater. The construction of this new WRF in Cupang, Muntinlupa is part of our long-term strategy to expand sewerage services across the entire West Zone,” Fernandez said.
Maynilad is also nearing the completion of another major facility in Muntinlupa, the Tunasan Water Reclamation Facility, which will further boost the city’s sewerage system.
The company is a concessionaire of the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System.
It provides water services for the 17 cities and municipalities that comprise Metro Manila’s West Zone and some parts of Cavite.
Among these areas are Manila (all but portions of San Andres and Sta. Ana), Quezon City (west of San Juan River, West Avenue, EDSA, Congressional, Mindanao Avenue, the northern part starting from Holy Spirit and Batasan Hills), Makati (west of South Super Highway), Caloocan, Pasay, Parañaque, Las Piñas, Muntinlupa, Valenzuela, Navotas, Malabon, Cavite, Bacoor, Imus, Kawit, Noveleta and Rosario.
