West Zone concessionaire Maynilad Water Services Inc., announced on Tuesday the partial operations of its sewage treatment plant (STP) in Marulas, Valenzuela.
At full capacity, the facility is capable of processing wastewater generated by 300,000 customers in nine barangays in Valenzuela City, making it safe for release to the ecosystem.
Maynilad said the Valenzuela facility treats around 12 million liters of wastewater generated daily by communities in the immediate vicinity of the Marulas Creek.
Once the installation of a 27.4-kilometer sewer network in the city by 2024 is completed, the plant will also be able to collect and treat wastewater of up to 60 million liters daily, serving barangays Gen. T. De Leon, Karuhatan, Malinta, Marulas, Maysan, Parada, Paso De Blas and portions of Lingunan and West Canumay.
Maynilad said the Valenzuela STP is among those to be tapped for the production of potable water supply from used water.
The company is currently upgrading one wastewater facility in Caloocan and constructing four new ones in Las Piñas, Bacoor, and Tunasan and Cupang in Muntinlupa. Once completed, Maynilad’s wastewater treatment plants will total 27 in 2027.
