MWSI intensifies drive vs illegal water connections

11/01/2009

Maynilad Water Services Inc. (MWSI) the other day said it had strengthened its campaign against illegal water connections in the West Zone of Metro Manila.

This developed after MWSI underwent a Non-Revenue Water (NRW) or water lost to illegal connections and leaks during the 17th Philippine Water Works Association (PWWA) International Conference and Exhibition on Water Resources Management (Philwater 2009) in Tagbilaran City, Bohol.

Maynilad’s Central Non-Revenue Water Division, in partnership with international water loss management company Miya, is gaining ground in the war against NRW after it attained a 6 percent reduction in NRW.

The team was able to bring down water loss in the West Zone from an average of 67 percent to just 61 percent as of October 2009.

The accomplishment — the company’s lowest NRW level since the 1997 privatization — resulted from Maynilad’s concerted and continued effort and its Capital Expenditure projects designed to address NRW. Maynilad aims to reduce NRW in the West Zone down to 40 percent by 2012. PNA
