Strengthening water pressure, reliability
The new reservoirs will improve water supply availability and help sustain stronger water pressure during peak demand, especially in elevated areas where pressure tends to drop when lower-lying communities withdraw more water.
“By building more strategically located reservoirs, we are strengthening our distribution system and ensuring better service for customers, especially in areas that experience low pressure during peak demand,” Maynilad president and CEO Ramoncito S. Fernandez said in a statement.
The initiative is part of Maynilad’s long-term program to expand its storage infrastructure and enhance network resiliency.
Sustainable growth, strategic investment
Maynilad is implementing the expansion through cost management and process efficiency measures, including the use of renewable energy to ensure its investments remain both economically sound and environmentally sustainable.
The project supports Maynilad’s P31.9-billion capital expenditure plan for 2025–2029, which covers operations support and infrastructure improvement programs.
Network expansion
As of June 30, 2025, Maynilad operates eight water treatment plants, 39 reservoirs, 41 pumping stations, and a 7,886-kilometer distribution network.
It also maintains 21 serviceable deep wells that can be activated as backup sources during supply interruptions.
Maynilad serves the West Zone of the Greater Manila Area, covering key cities and municipalities in Metro Manila and Cavite. —Ed: Corrie S. Naisma
