The new Parañaque Water Reclamation Facility can treat up to 76,000 cubic meters of wastewater per day, and will help ease pollution loading in Manila Bay.
It can serve about 500,000 households in Barangays San Dionisio, Sto. Niño, San Isidro, Moonwalk, San Antonio, Marcelo Green, BF, La Huerta, and Don Bosco in Parañaque City.
The facility, which is part of Maynilad’s program to expedite the provision of sewerage and sanitation services in Metro Manila, is funded by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) through the Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP).
“Maynilad has always been supportive of government’s move to clean up Manila Bay," said Maynilad President and CEO Ramoncito S. Fernandez.
With the completion of the STP in Parañaque, Maynilad now operates 19 Sewage Treatment Plants, two Sewage and Septage Treatment Plants, and one Septage Treatment Plant with a combined treatment capacity of an estimated 662,000 cubic meters of wastewater per day.
Maynilad is still more than halfway through its target sewerage coverage of 47 percent by 2021 after ending last year with only 20 percent sewerage coverage.
In its plan previously submitted to Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS), the company is targeting to increase its sewerage coverage by 47 percent by 2021, 68 percent by 2026, 87 percent by 2031, and 100 percent by 2036.
To achieve 20 percent sewerage coverage over the last 12 years, Maynilad said it had to invest as much as P23.3 billion since the firm's privatization.
