1 Introduction and Overview
1.1 Project Background

Manila Water Company Inc. (Manila Water) is significantly increasing capital spending from
2018 to improve services in water and environmental sustainability. The increased investment
focuses on developing water and wastewater infrastructure with the aim of improving services
and creating more sustainable living conditions for the people within the East Zone
Concession Area.
Figure 1 Pasig WTP Raw Water Source
The 500 MLD Pasig Water Treatment Plant (WTP) Project aims to treat the raw water from
the upcoming new water sources of Manila Water – Wawa and Kaliwa, which will be conveyed
through the Long-Term East (LTE) transmission line. Pasig WTP will be situated inside the
Pasig Reservoir Site along Doña Julia Vargas, Pasig City. The Project will be procured in two
stages: Phase 1 - 250 MLD Phase 1 and 250 MLD Phase 2 which will be operated
independently. The Pasig WTP Project shall be composed of the following components:
• Inlet Well and conveyance from LTE Water Tower

• Water Treatment Plant
• Chemical farm and dosing systems
• Sludge Treatment Facility
• Substations and other support facilities
• Repurposing of existing Reservoir into a 20 ML reservoir, and
• Transfer of electrical & control components of existing water Pumping Station to new
location.
