Maynilad adds millions of liters to its water storage capacity

MAYNILAD WATER Services, Inc. has added 345 million liters (ML) to its water-storage capacity after rehabilitating five old reservoirs and constructing 13 new ones in different areas of its West concession. This is double its storage capacity when the company was reprivatized in 2007.

From only seven reservoirs in 2007, Maynilad now has 32 operational reservoirs, which have a combined water-storage capacity of 710 ML, or a 95% increase compared to only 365 ML a mere 11 years ago.

These facilities enhance Maynilad’s capability to bring potable water to elevated and far-flung portions of its concession area where supply availability is still limited. It also allows for better pressure management when there is a supply crunch, such as during times of El Niño.

The construction of the new reservoirs is among Maynilad’s initiatives to help ensure water security and reliability in its concession area.
