Construction of the P11-billion Poblacion water treatment plant (WTP) in Muntinlupa of west zone concessionaire Maynilad Water Services Inc. is 80 percent complete.
Maynilad said the company started the testing and checking of the equipment and processes of the facility.
The project can initially produce 50 million liters per day (MLD) of potable water by December 2023 and as much as 150 MLD when completed at its full capacity by first half of next year.
Maynilad said the Poblacion WTP will improve water pressure and supply availability for customers in Parañaque, Las Piñas, Muntinlupa and Cavite.
The facility will enhance service reliability, as it will provide additional supply for customers in the south so their water service will not be affected despite raw water quality shifts in Laguna Lake.
Maynilad has two other treatment plants in Putatan, Muntinlupa that draw water from Laguna Lake and produce a combined 300 MLD of water supply for around 1.7 million customers in the south.
The Poblacion WTP will be Maynilad’s third facility to get raw water from the Laguna Lake.
