Water firms earmark investment to ensure long-term supply

The country’s two main water concessionaires have laid down their resiliency and investment plans to beef up long-term water in light of emerging security problems, climate change and the Duterte administration’s new water source projects.

Maynilad Water Services, Inc. is earmarking more investments for water infrastructure like reservoirs, pumping stations, and new treatment facilities to improve the water supply system in the West Zone, its concession area. Maynilad has invested some P42 billion for water projects in the last five years.
