Manila Water expands sewer network to 500 kilometers to support healthier communities

Manila Water has expanded its sewer network to 500.08 kilometers as of July 2026, marking a significant milestone in its continuing efforts to improve sewer services and protect public health and the environment across its service area.

The milestone reflects Manila Water’s long-term commitment to expanding access to sewer services and supporting cleaner waterways through sustained investments in sanitation infrastructure.

Sewer lines collect and convey wastewater from homes, establishments, and communities for proper treatment before safe discharge to the environment.

“Every kilometer of sewer line we build strengthens our ability to deliver essential wastewater services that help protect both public health and the environment. This growing network allows us to serve more customers while contributing to cleaner rivers and healthier communities,” Manila Water Corporate Communications Group Head Dittie Galang said.

Beyond expanding its network, Manila Water continues to maintain its sewer infrastructure to ensure reliable service. In July alone, the company cleaned and maintained 21.41 kilometers of sewer lines. A total of 11 sewer main blockages and 70 household sewer connection blockages were reported during the month, all of which were promptly addressed and resolved.
