Aside from implementing measures to ensure 24/7 clean water service to its customers, Manila Water is embarking on a massive sewer project to improve sanitation and promote a cleaner environment for Metro Manila communities.

As part of its service obligation and advocacy of making sanitation services easily accessible to communities, East Zone concessionaire Manila Water will bring its desludging caravan to 46 barangays in Metro Manila and Rizal Province in June.

Manila Water Foundation, MWSS, and Safeguard Philippines handed over product support to 12 public hospitals in their campaign to promote hand washing with soap and water to avoid the spread of germs and communicable diseases. This is part of the Health in our Hands program of Manila Water Foundation which aims to raise awareness on the importance of sanitation and the healthy habits of proper toothbrushing and proper hand washing. The donation handover is a concrete synergy response as the Department of Health (DOH) notes a rise in COVID-19 cases and reports that the country now has 28 infections of the XBB.1.16 Omicron COVID-19 subvariant commonly known as the “Arcturus”.  

East Zone Concessionaire Manila Water has started necessary preparations to ensure service continuity with the expected onslaught of Tropical Cyclone Mawar (local name: Betty) this weekend, as the said weather disturbance continues to move towards the Philippines and is projected to bring heavy rains and strong winds in Metro Manila and other parts of Luzon.

Manila Water, the East Zone Concessionaire of MWSS, expects the construction of its P8.2 billion Calawis Water Supply System Project to be completed in June 2023. The raw water for this facility comes from the Tayabasan River, located in Brgy. Calawis, Antipolo City. This area is part of the Upper Marikina Watershed, which Manila Water is helping to grow and maintain.
