Manila Water consistently intensifies its campaign towards proper wastewater management in Metro Manila’s East Zone through its Used Water Master Plan. The target for the company in terms of used water services is full sewer and sanitation coverage of its entire concession area by 2037. As of July 31, 2018, Manila Water has installed an aggregate of 135,251 sewer connections within the East Zone since the start of its concession period, serving a total of 186,480 households. For the whole of 2017, 1,783 new sewer connections were installed, benefiting 3,382 households, while 630 kilometers of sewer pipes were cleaned within the same period.

The tunnel boring machine (TBM) for Manila Water’s Novaliches-Balara Aqueduct 4 (NBAQ4) project has arrived on site in Quezon City. The TBM will be used to build a 7.3-kilometer underground aqueduct passing under Commonwealth Avenue – a first time in the Philippines a TBM will be used in an urban setting.

Related to the emergency leak repairs being done along EDSA Southbound service road near corner Shaw Blvd., Manila Water will undertake MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING OF VALVES on its water line in the area. This will necessitate the closure of the entire SOUTHBOUND SERVICE ROAD (in front of Star Mall), from 10:00 PM, Tuesday, August 21, 2018 until 4:00 AM, Wednesday, August 22, 2018.

Manila Water will proceed with its PIPELAYING AND INTERCONNECTION activity along EDSA Southbound service road near corner Shaw Blvd, which will result to temporary water service interruption affecting around 466,000 population in 93,237 households, commercial and business establishments in 33 barangays in Mandaluyong City, San Juan City, Pasig City and Quezon City, beginning Thursday, August 16, 2018 at 7:00 PM until 9:00 AM, Friday, August 17, 2018.
