Manila Water was incorporated on January 6, 1997 and started commercial operations on January 1, 2000. It became a publicly listed company via an initial public offering on March 18, 2005. 

The Company provides water treatment, water distribution, sewerage and sanitation services to more than six million people in the East Zone, comprising a broad range of residential, commercial and industrial customers. 

In addition, Manila Water has expanded its business outside the East Zone through its local and international subsidiaries and affiliates. Manila Water also continues to explore business opportunities in key cities both in and out of the country. In this connection, Manila Water has made strategic commitment to expansion in the VIMP markets, particularly in the key cities of Vietnam, Indonesia, Myanmar and the Philippines. The primary consideration is the similarity of the market with Metro Manila because the Company believes that having performed well in Metro Manila, there are "value-adds" that it could bring to those markets. 

Under the VIMP strategy, the Company has aspired to expand its presence in select metropolitan areas in Vietnam, Indonesia, Myanmar and the Philippines (VIP). The Company is prepared to enter these markets with a flexible set of models along the water value chain – e.g. management contracts, O&M contracts, bulk water treatment, waste water treatment, full service concession – whatever is the most appropriate for a given market and its unique considerations.
