West Zone concessionaire Maynilad Water Services Inc. said Tuesday its newly constructed modular treatment plant in Imus, Cavite is set to commence operations this month.
In a news release, Maynilad said the ModTP will be producing 5.5 million liters per day of potable water, getting raw water supply from the Anabu River. The company said the P2.12 billion Anabu ModTP will serve as a dedicated supply source for Imus, which does not yet have a 24-hour water supply owing to its distance from Maynilad’s main raw water source, the Angat Dam in Bulacan.Maynilad said that once the Anabu ModTP becomes fully operational by the latter part of this year, it can produce a total of 16 MLD, which can serve around 114,000 people in the area.
“With the commissioning of this new facility, we can lengthen supply availability in this part of the West concession that has yet to be provided with 24-hour water service. We aim to enhance service reliability by building more treatment facilities that tap alternate raw water sources,” said Maynilad chief operating officer Randolph Estrellado.
The Anabu ModTP is also part of Maynilad’s measures to mitigate the possible impact of El Niño on the availability of water supply
