Manila Water Enhances Wastewater Infrastructure
Manila Water is intensifying its efforts to improve wastewater infrastructure with the near completion of the Aglipay Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) in Mandaluyong. This facility marks the company’s 42nd STP within the East Zone concession area, standing out as one of its most extensive and technologically advanced wastewater infrastructure projects to date.
Officials reported that the Aglipay STP plays a crucial role in the Mandaluyong wastewater management system, designed to treat sewage efficiently and sustainably. Local leaders noted that this development aligns with broader environmental goals to safeguard waterways and public health.
Cutting-Edge Features of the Aglipay STP
The wastewater infrastructure at Aglipay incorporates state-of-the-art technology to maximize treatment capacity and minimize environmental impact. Community members said the plant is equipped with advanced filtration and biological treatment processes that ensure cleaner water is released back into the environment.
Sources said the new facility can handle a larger volume of wastewater, which is essential for supporting the growing population and increased development in Mandaluyong. This upgrade not only improves service reliability but also meets stricter environmental regulations.
Benefits to Mandaluyong and Surrounding Areas
Local leaders emphasized that the enhanced wastewater infrastructure will reduce pollution in local rivers and canals, contributing to healthier ecosystems. Moreover, the improved sewage treatment capacity helps prevent flooding caused by clogged waterways during heavy rains.
Community members expressed optimism that this project will lead to better quality of life, as clean water plays a vital role in public health and urban sustainability. Officials reported ongoing monitoring to ensure the plant operates at peak efficiency.
Future Plans for Wastewater Infrastructure Expansion
Manila Water plans to continue expanding its wastewater infrastructure to meet the demands of urban growth. Sources said that following the Aglipay STP’s commissioning, additional projects are in the pipeline to further strengthen the East Zone’s sewage treatment network.
