NEW Water, Maynilad Water Services Inc.’s recycled water, will soon reach more customers in Parañaque and three other cities within its concession area to reduce customer dependence on the supply coming from the Angat Dam.
The new water initiative, the officials told the BusinessMirror in separate interviews, is just one of several strategies to augment the supply from Angat Dam, the water level of which has fallen to 178 meters above sea level, which is below the 180 meters above sea level normal operating level. Children in Barangay San Isidro, Taytay, Rizal, enjoy a respite from the scorching heat by immersing themselves in a man-made canal, unfazed by the murky waters and presence of green algae with a sewer-like odor. The prevailing El Niño, as predicted by national weather bureau PAGASA, has prompted them to seek relief in any available water source.
“This is the country’s first-ever foray into potable water reuse, so rigorous monitoring is necessary to ensure that all drinking quality parameters are met and that no contaminants remain in the final product water released by our New Water Treatment Plant,” Rufo said. “Following the successful pilot implementation of our potable water reuse project in Parañaque, Maynilad plans to eventually expand the production and distribution of New Water supply to more areas within its concession,” said Rufo.
