Manila Water's P525M raw water intake nears 92% completion

Manila Water is nearing the completion of its Raw Water Intake Structure for the East Bay Phase 2 Water Treatment Plant, with the project now at 92% completion.

This P525-million project, initiated in June 2023, is crucial for enhancing water security in Metro Manila's East Zone.

The intake structure will draw 200 million liters per day of raw water from Laguna Lake.

Its completion involves the installation of 1,000-millimeter-diameter submarine pipelines that will transport water from offshore sources to the treatment plant.

A new Pump and Electrical Room is also under construction to house advanced control systems and automation technologies.

The intake structure is slated for completion in the third quarter and forms part of the company's long-term strategy to diversify water sources and reduce reliance on Angat Dam.
