Manila Water expands wastewater capacity with P3.9-B Aglipay STP

Manila Water is expanding its wastewater infrastructure with the development of the Aglipay Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) in Mandaluyong, its 42nd facility in the East Zone and one of the largest and most advanced to date.

The Aglipay STP is part of the Mandaluyong West–San Juan South and Quezon City South Sewerage System Project, designed to treat up to 60 million liters of wastewater daily (MLD) from a 2,115-hectare catchment spanning Mandaluyong, San Juan, and Quezon City.

Once the accompanying 53-kilometer sewer network is completed, capacity can be doubled to 120 MLD to meet future demand.

Manila Water’s commitment

“The Aglipay STP is a landmark achievement for Manila Water. Its scale, technology, and reach reflect our deep commitment to building resilient and sustainable communities,” said Jeric Sevilla, communication affairs group director of Manila Water.

“This facility is a testament to our long-term vision of protecting public health and safeguarding the environment through world-class wastewater management,” he added.
