Maynilad Water Services, Inc. is setting aside P3.2 billion for the construction of four modular treatment plants (ModTPs) that will serve its customers in Cavite.
The ModTPs located in the cities of Bacoor and Imus in Cavite province have a combined water output of 47 million liters per day or enough to supply the daily needs of some 200,000 customers in the area.
The facilities are targeted for completion between 2023 and 2024, including the pipelines that will distribute the treated water to nearby areas.
The ModTPs will also utilize ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis technology to treat raw water from nearby dams and rivers, with those in Bacoor City will draw water from the Molino and Ligas dams that are fed by the Zapote river while those in Imus City will source water from the nearby Julian and Imus rivers.
“Cavite is the farthest point of our concession area, so there are portions that do not yet receive 24-hour water supply. The new ModTPs will draw water from adjacent dams and serve as a dedicated supply source that can lengthen supply availability for these underserved areas,” said Randolph Estrellado, Maynilad chief operating officer.
Maynilad is the largest private water concessionaire in the Philippines in terms of customers and serve the cities of Manila, Quezon City, Makati, Caloocan, Pasay, Parañaque, Las Piñas, Muntinlupa, Valenzuela, Navotas and Malabon as well as the cities of Cavite, Bacoor and Imus, and the towns of Kawit, Noveleta and Rosario in Cavite Province.
