MANILA, Philippines -- To provide safer and more affordable water services to the public, Maynilad Water Services Inc. (Maynilad) has built a 23 million liter PAGCOR Reservoir on Macapagal Avenue Paranaque City.

Maynilad president and CEO Ricky Vargas said that the triangular reservoir is the largest in the country with a height of 26 meters nearly equivalent to a regular nine-storey building.

“Our new PAGCOR pumping station and reservoir is a critical component of Maynilad’s long-term plan to provide reliable and affordable water services to our customers. The facility will help us distribute water to our customers living in the South,” Vargas added.

Once fully operational, the R680-million PAGCOR Pumping Station and Reservoir can provide around 300 million liters per day (MLD) of potable water to customers in Parañaque, Las Piñas, Cavite City and the five municipalities of Cavite Province.

Vargas added that initially, the facility will benefit over 64,000 custom¬ers in Cavite and Las Piñas areas but once Maynilad’s pipe-laying activities along Aguinaldo Highway and Tirona Road are completed, over 166,000 households more can benefit from the facility.

Maynilad is owned and managed by DMCI-MPIC Water Company, Inc., a joint venture between Metro Pacific Investments Corporation and DMCI Holdings, Inc.

It serves the West Zone of the Greater Manila Area, which is composed of the cities of Manila (all but portions of San Andres & Sta Ana), Quezon City (west of San Juan River, West Avenue, EDSA, Congressional, Mindanao Avenue, the northern part starting from the Districts of the Holy Spirit & Batasan Hills), Makati (west of South Super Hi-way), Caloocan, Pasay, Paranaque, Las Pinas, Muntinlupa, Valenzuela, Navotas and Malabon all in Metro Manila; Cavite City, and the towns of Bacoor, Imus, Kawit, Noveleta and Rosario, all in Cavite Province
