Capital Infusion
Maynilad BOAC plans to implement capital expenditure projects focusing on the rehabilitation and expansion of the current water system in the said municipality. The existing pipelines, which covers 24% of the service area, will be replaced with new pipes of higher capacity designed to accommodate the increasing demand in the area.
Maynilad BOAC will also lay new pipelines that will enable it to expand services in 15 barangays, thus increasing the service coverage in the area to 76%. A total of 77 kilometers of pipelines will be laid after the rehabilitation and expansion program.
To cater to the future demand of the municipality, Maynilad BOAC will also increase its water supply capacity to almost 17 million liters per day (MLD). This will be done through the rehabilitation of two existing deep wells and the construction of eight new deep wells.
