Manila Water Co. Inc. said its P450-million Antipolo transmission line is on track for full completion by next year.
The company said the facility will provide additional water service to more than one million customers in Antipolo City, Teresa, Baras, Taytay and Angono once operational.
The project involves pipelaying, asphalt pavement restoration and pipe bridge construction over nine kilometers stretching from Teresa in Rizal traversing along Roman-Rojas Road going to NHA Access Road up to Sitio Boso-Boso.
The service improvement project has major components requiring the laying of 1600mm-diameter steel pipes along the Roman-Rojas and NHA Road already underway and slated for completion by 2025.
The second package involves the installation of a similar steel pipe along the New Access Road to Boso-Boso Reservoir which is on track for completion by the fourth quarter this year.
“The Antipolo transmission line aims to further improve water services to over 1 million residents in Rizal, therefore contributing to better health and quality of life of residents within our concession area,” said Jeric Sevilla, Manila Water corporate communications affairs group director.
