MAYNILAD Water Services Inc. said it completed rehabilitation works
in the central part of Malabon City.
In a statement, the water utility said it
finished a five-month project worth P80.36 million for the
replacement of 22.6 kilometers of old and leaking pipelines to
improve service levels in the said area.
Because of the service improvement project, the
company said it increased service connections from 4,600 to 5,491
and doubled water pressure in the area to 15 psi.
The project likewise enabled Maynilad to recover
18 million liters per day of water that used to be lost due to leaks
and illegal connections.
Quirico Arellano, Maynilad technical manager for
the Malabon/Navotas Business Center, said complaints of no supply
and low water quality were rife among residents before the water
network in this area was upgraded.
