Aligned with the celebration of World Water Day, Manila Water Foundation, the social development arm of Manila Water Company, joined the United Nations (UN) 2023 Water Conference last March 22-24. The urgent gathering of world leaders show that water truly unites the world, especially amid climate change. Manila Water Foundation was the only Philippine private organization granted special accreditation to participate in the 2023 UN Water Conference at the UN Headquarters in New York City.

As the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) officially announced the beginning of summer, Manila Water assures its 7.4 million customers in the East Zone of Metro Manila and Rizal sustained 24/7 water service even throughout the Holy Week. In conjunction with the rollout of the P181-billion Service Improvement Plan being implemented this year until 2027, the water company is simultaneously executing contingency and augmentation projects to secure uninterrupted water service to its growing customer base.

For the month of April, the desludging caravan of East Zone concessionaire Manila Water will go around 43 barangays in Metro Manila and Rizal to provide septic tank cleaning to its customers at no additional cost.

In the pursuit of fulfilling its mission of delivering world-class services tailored to the needs of the communities it serves, especially providing water access for marginalized communities, Boracay Water, a subsidiary of Manila Water Philippine Ventures and a concessionaire of Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority (TIEZA), recently spearheaded and completed a project under the ‘Tubig Para sa Barangay” or TPSB program, which aims to provide sustainable water to low-income households.

East Zone concessionaire Manila Water has recorded a significant increase in its new water connections since the pandemic, as it expands its total water service connections to 1,150,297 from August 1997 to December 2022.
