Manila Water announced a significant investment of P450 million for the Antipolo Pipeline Package 1. This nine-kilometer water transmission line is designed to enhance water security in Rizal Province.
The pipeline, which runs from the Boso Boso Reservoir to Teresa, Rizal, is part of Manila Water's strategy to address the growing demand for water amid climate variability.
The construction includes pipe laying, tunneling, and the restoration of asphalt pavement, all adhering to strict engineering and safety standards.
Future-Proofing Water Supply
This project is essential for supporting the Pasig Water Treatment Plant and integrating future water sources into the system efficiently.
We are building infrastructure today with the next decades in mind. Investing early in transmission assets allows us to future proof our system, improve reliability, and ensure readiness as new water sources come online and climate pressures continue to intensify.
Jeric Sevilla, Manila Water Communication Affairs Group Director
Manila Water aims to mitigate the impact of recurring dry spells and anticipate future climate challenges through this investment.
The company also reassured residents that traffic management and safety protocols are in place during construction to minimize disruptions.
This initiative underscores Manila Water's commitment to long-term infrastructure investments that secure water availability and promote sustainable growth.
