In line with the observance of National Disaster Consciousness Month in July, Manila Water prepares to energize all eight (8) emergency reservoirs the company constructed to help promote disaster risk reduction and preparedness of cities and municipalities in Metro Manila’s East Zone.  These emergency reservoirs (ER) are intended to provide potable water in evacuation centers and help augment supply during calamities and disasters such as typhoons and earthquakes.

As part of Manila Water’s COVID-19 response, it is set to begin operations of its first-ever molecular laboratory to capture the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater. The facility is designed to detect and quantify the virus in wastewater using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) machines, which are capable in amplifying small segments of DNA or RNA to an amount large enough to be studied in detail. Data to be generated in this molecular lab can help communities formulate actions in mitigating COVID-19 in its early stages of emergence or re-emergence as wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) can detect the virus even before people show symptoms.
