Construction begins for largest water reclamation facility in Philippines
Construction has begun for the P10.5-billion Caloocan-Malabon-Navotas (CAMANA) Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) project of the Maynilad Water Services, Inc. (Maynilad).
Designed to treat 205 million liters per day (MLD) of wastewater, the CAMANA facility – which is being constructed by premier contractor D.M. Consunji, Inc. (DMCI) – will be the biggest of its kind in the Philippines once commissioned in the third quarter of 2024.
Around 1.2 million households in South Caloocan, Malaban and Navatos will benefit from the project.
CAMANA WRF is one of Maynilad’s large-scale, complex and multi-year capex projects.
“This is an enormous undertaking because it involves expanding the capacity of a 40-year old facility by over 600%,” said DMCI president and CEO Jorge A. Consunji said in a statement.
