Manila Water nears completion of Raw Water Intake Structure for East Bay Phase 2 WTP
Ongoing construction at the East Bay Phase 2 Raw Water Intake Structure, a critical facility designed to extract up to 200 million liters of raw water daily from Laguna Lake. Once completed, it will help ensure sustainable water supply for over two million residents in Pasig, Pateros, and Taguig.
MANILA, Philippines – Manila Water is making significant strides in bolstering water security for the East Zone, with the Raw Water Intake Structure for the East Bay Phase 2 Water Treatment Plant now 92% complete.
This vital infrastructure, part of the P525-million project launched in June 2023, is designed to draw 200 million liters per day (MLD) of raw water from Laguna Lake—paving the way for a more resilient and sustainable water supply for over two million residents in Pasig City, Taguig City and the municipality of Pateros in Metro Manila.
Complementing the intake system are extensive marine works, including the installation of 1000mm-diameter submarine pipelines that will transport water from offshore sources to the treatment facility.
Additionally, a new Pump and Electrical Room is being constructed to house advanced control systems and automation technologies, ensuring seamless operation and energy efficiency.
“As the intake structure takes shape, we are also constantly improving and expanding our network distribution,” said Jeric Sevilla, Manila Water’s Communication Affairs Group Director.
“We greatly appreciate the support of our partner local government units and different stakeholders whose collaboration has been instrumental in pushing this project forward,” he added.
Set for completion in the third quarter of 2025, the East Bay Phase 2 Raw Water Intake Structure is a cornerstone of Manila Water’s long-term strategy to diversify water sources and reduce reliance on the Angat Dam.
Once operational, it will significantly enhance water service reliability, especially during dry seasons, and support the growing demands of the East Zone.
