West Zone concessionaire Maynilad Water Services Inc. is spending around P4 billion to upgrade and rehabilitate 22 of its existing pumping stations and reservoirs (PSRs), which operate non-stop to boost water supply and pressure throughout its concession area.

The company said the project will enable sustained delivery of piped-in water supply at adequate pressure to some four million of its customers in Caloocan, Las Piñas, Manila, Muntinlupa, Quezon City, Parañaque, Pasay and portions of Cavite.

Major activities to be done on the 22 PSRs include retrofitting to improve structural resiliency, replacement of electronic and electrical equipment for enhanced pump operations, increasing reservoir capacity for better water service reliability during maintenance activities and emergencies as well as the upgrading of pumps and motors to further boost water pressure.

Maynilad said this upgrade project started in 2023 with full completion scheduled in 2027.

“This maintenance project along with our planned construction of new PSRs over the next five years is part of our service enhancement program that will ensure sustained water access in light of higher water demand. It will help to keep the water infrastructure resilient and responsive to the needs of our growing customer base,” said Randolph Estrellado, Maynilad chief operating officer, in a statement.

Maynilad has 39 pumping stations and 39 reservoirs located in strategic locations throughout its concession area. -Jed Macapagal
