WEST Zone concessionaire Maynilad Water Services Inc. will conduct a public hearing on its planned expansion of the Putatan water treatment plants (PWTP) in Muntinlupa city.
In a notice posted by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, the hearing is set on July 19 and is open to all interested parties.
The notice said Maynilad aims to optimize the operation of the current PWTP and increase its production capacity from 300 million liters per day (MLD) to 340 MLD and provide additional 20 MLD per day through a modular treatment plant. This will augment the supply deficiency in the area.
The public hearing will also be conducted in relation to the project’s environmental performance report and management plan.
In a separate message, Maynilad said the expansion has an estimated cost of P580 million and is part of programs that will augment water supply in view of El Niño.
The PWTP utilizes raw water from the Laguna Lake.
