The AWTIP or Tunnel 4 located in Norzagaray, Bulacan was completed in June 2020. The project aims to improve the reliability and security of raw water coming from the Angat Dam through rehabilitation of the transmission system from Ipo to Angat Dam.

The structures that have been completed include the intake structure at Ipo reservoir; new transition basin at Bigte; slope protection works at Ipo Dam; channel connecting Tunnel 4 outlet portal to existing aqueduct 5; interconnection of the new transition basin at Bigte to the existing Transition Basin No. 3, and the necessary modifications of the existing transition basin No. 3 at Bigte.

MWSS Administrator Emmanuel Salamat, who visited the project site on Monday, said he was pleased to see the completion of Tunnel 4, “as it now paves the way for the rehabilitation of the transmission system’s main components that are 75 years old, in poor condition, and most likely not in compliance with current structural and seismic requirements.”
