MAYNILAD Water Services Inc. recently completed the laying of an initial 11.6 kilometers of new sewer lines in Valenzuela City to expedite the provision of sewerage services to its customers in the area.
The company said the newly laid sewer lines on Mc Arthur Highway in Valenzuela enables the catchment of wastewater generated by some 190,000 customers in barangays Karuhatan, Malinta, Marulas and parts of Maysan and convey it to the company’s Valenzuela water reclamation facility for proper treatment before discharge to water bodies.
Maynilad also used a trenchless methodology involving the insertion of pliable yet strong pipes through an insertion point instead of digging up trenches on the road to lay pipes to minimize the impact on traffic on Mc Arthur Highway.
The initial 11.6 kilometers of sewer lines is part of the planned 28-kilometer sewerage system project of Maynilad in Valenzuela City which will catch wastewater and convey it to the company’s recently commissioned 60 million liters per day Valenzuela water reclamation facility for treatment.
