Manila Water is preparing to open the Aglipay Sewage Treatment Plant in Mandaluyong, its 42nd facility in the East Zone concession area and one of its largest and most advanced to date.
The Aglipay STP is part of the Mandaluyong West-San Juan South and Quezon City South Sewerage System Project. It is designed to treat up to 60 million liters of wastewater per day from a 2,115-hectare catchment area covering Mandaluyong, San Juan and Quezon City.
Once the 53-kilometer sewer network is completed, the facility will be expandable to 120 million liters per day to meet future demand.
‘The Aglipay STP is a landmark achievement for Manila Water. Its scale, technology, and reach reflect our deep commitment to building resilient and sustainable communities,’ Communications Affairs Group Director Jeric Sevilla said.
‘This facility is a testament to our long-term vision of protecting public health and safeguarding the environment through world-class wastewater management,’ Sevilla added.
With a project cost of 3.9 billion pesos, the Aglipay STP is undergoing testing and commissioning to ensure performance and compliance with environmental standards.
Once fully operational, it will serve more than 652,000 residents, improving water quality in nearby rivers, reducing pollution and enhancing public health in Mandaluyong, San Juan and Quezon City.
