The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources led the inauguration of the Libertad Sewage Treatment Plant in Pasay City on Tuesday to boost capability to mitigate water pollution that will further improve the water quality of Manila Bay.
The Libertad STP can treat 10 million liters of wastewater per day and has a catchment area of 779 hectares. The treated wastewater will be used for watering plants and for the water supply of firetrucks in Pasay City. With the continued rehabilitation works in Manila Bay, including the operation of the Baywalk STP, data from the DENR has shown that there is a significant improvement in water quality, as shown by the gradual decline in fecal coliform levels.
