MWC TO BUILD AGLIPAY SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT

Manila Water is embarking on the construction of its Aglipay Sewage Treatment Plant in Mandaluyong City, which will service southern parts of Quezon City and San Juan, apart from Mandaluyong.

Manila Water, together with SUEZ, a leader in sustainable environmental services; Philippine engineering and infrastructure innovator Megawide; officials of the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System; and officials from the City of Mandaluyong, held the groundbreaking ceremony recently.

The consortium of SUEZ and Megawide will design and build the sewage treatment plant, which will have a daily capacity of 60,000 m3, with Megawide undertaking all civil works for the project. This marks the first project of Megawide with Manila Water and its first collaboration with SUEZ.

Francois Fervier, CEO of Water, SUEZ Asia, said: “SUEZ is committed to preserving the environment and restoring our natural capital. This partnership between Manila Water, Megawide, and SUEZ provides a strong foundation for this project and will significantly enhance the water quality, hygiene and sanitation for the population in Metro Manila by 2037. We will continue to support cities in the Philippines to cope with its water treatment challenges with our innovations and worldwide expertise in water treatment.”
