West Zone concessionaire Maynilad Water Services, Inc. has completed a P208 million pipe replacement project in Sampaloc, Manila that improved water pressure and reduced losses in the area.
The company said the project required the replacement of a kilometer of old, leaky primary lines along Maria Clara and Quiricada Streets.
Maynilad said the project enabled the recovery of 3 million liters daily, enough to meet the water requirements of over 21,000 customers previously lost as pipe leaks.
“The water we were able to recover from this project adds to the available supply that we distribute to our customers, thus helping to augment water supply this El Niño season. We aim to fast-track similar pipe replacement activities in other areas of our concession so we can further boost water recovery,” said Ramoncito Fernandez, Maynilad president and chief executive officer.
