In a statement posted on Maynilad’s website, the company said it added 797,852 connections to its network after its re-privatization in 2007. The company said most of these connections were provided with piped-in surface water in unserved areas.
Maynilad said of its total service connections, about 98% of customers have a 24-hour water supply compared with 46% in 2007. Customers who received water supply at an average pressure of seven pounds per square inch increased to 98% from only 53% in 2007. Meanwhile, the water provider also said that it was able to add 300 million liters per day to its water production capacity and lay 3,172 kilometers of new pipes throughout the west zone by the end of 2021.
Sometimes we need to be reminded that there are actually still people in the metropolis who nevr had water service. Maynilad getting 98% coverage is commendable.
