West Zone concessionaire Maynilad Water Services, Inc. (Maynilad) recently signed an agreement with the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) on the reuse of the company’s treated wastewater for the Clean and Green Project of the agency in Pasay City.
The water company pledged to provide, free of charge, the treated effluent of its Pasay Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) for purposes strictly limited to the watering of ornamental plants along major and secondary thoroughfares; flushing of government facilities, roadways, center islands, barriers, plant boxes, and underpass walls; and firefighting activities. Maynilad will provide volumes that are available per day, as the availability of treated wastewater is dictated by the facility’s treatment capacity. The treated effluent complies with the General Effluent Standards set by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
Present during the signing of Memorandum of Agreement were (from left) Pasay City Fire Marshall Superintendent Mariano S.

Estrellado, and Maynilad Corporate Affairs and Communication Head Marie Antonette H. De Ocampo.
