The company’s pipe laying projects have allowed more people to receive safe and reliable water straight from their taps. From serving only 6.1 million people in 2006, Maynilad’s service coverage has increased to 8.2 million people by the end of 2012.
“By laying more pipes across our concession area, we make clean, reliable and affordable water accessible for more people,” said Maynilad President and CEO Ricky. P. Vargas.
Of Maynilad’s P17.2 billion capital expenditure budget for this year, P3.16 billion has been allocated for the laying of new pipes, especially in its expansion areas in Las Piñas, Muntinlupa, Parañaque, Pasay and Cavite.
The Maynilad water distribution system is the longest ISO-certified facility of its kind in the Philippines. It stretches from North Caloocan to Cavite Province and delivers over 2,000 million liters of potable water per day.
Maynilad is the largest private water concessionaire in the Philippines in terms of customer base.
