Manila Water, led by ultra bilyonaryo Ricky Razon, is preparing to invest P81.8 billion to rehabilitate its existing facilities and build new infrastructure to ensure uninterrupted service in its Metro Manila concession area.
Manila Water will spend P37.7 billion for projects which will help the company maintain its compliance to water quality standards, and improve service reliability, operational flexibility, and efficiency to maintain its current 24/7 uninterrupted water supply.
The company is also allocating P23.8 billion for pipe-laying of reliability lines, regular maintenance of mainlines, and rehabilitation and replacement of aged primary lines in the East Zone to ensure network reliability.
Around P17.6 billion has also been budgeted for network efficiency and technology as well as mainline extension projects.
Manila Water has set aside P2.7 billion for its natural calamity risk mitigation project, which involves the construction of emergency reservoirs and pipe bridges, and retrofitting and floodproofing of its facilities, reservoirs, and package treatment plants.
These projects are aimed at mitigating the impacts on water supply and distribution to its customers in an event of a calamity or emergency.
