Manila Water is undertaking a critical pipe relocation project along Meralco Avenue and Shaw Boulevard in Pasig City to support the Department of Transportation’s Metro Manila Subway Project.
The initiative involves relocating a 600mm steel pipeline, including open-trench excavation, pipelaying, interconnection, looping to existing lines, and full restoration works. With a project cost of over ?49 million, construction began in the second quarter of 2025 and is expected to be completed by the 3rd quarter of 2026.
This proactive measure aims to prevent potential water service disruptions during subway construction and ensure continued water supply reliability in the area.
To manage traffic flow, construction is being done 24/7 along Oranbo Drive, while work is being done along Capt. Henry Javier Street is scheduled from 11:00 PM to 4:00 a.m.
One lane will be closed during these hours, with a stop-and-go scheme in place.
In coordination with the Pasig City local government, Manila Water has installed safety signage, bollards, and board-ups to ensure road and pedestrian safety.
‘We support the government’s infrastructure push while making sure our customers continue to receive reliable water service,’ said Jeric Sevilla, Manila Water Communication Affairs Group Director.
Manila Water appeals for public patience and understanding as the project progresses, reaffirming its commitment to safe, reliable, and uninterrupted water service.
