Rehab water supply system

PROMISE STATUS - DATE: In progress as of 07/17/2023

  • The Manila Waterworks and Sewerage System held a ceremonial groundbreaking in Norzagaray, Bulacan to kick off the construction of Angat Water Transmission Improvement Project Tunnel No. 5 on May 12. It is part of the Marcos administration’s 194 “high-impact” infrastructure projects.
  • The construction of the P3-billion tunnel aims to mitigate water supply interruptions in areas that Angat Dam covers, providing 98% of Metro Manila’s water supply. The project is set for completion by 2024.
  • The MWSS is evaluating a P14-billion proposal from San Miguel Holdings Corp. to develop a water supply project that will tap the Kaliwa River in Tanay, Rizal. This aims to boost water supply for Metro Manila, which currently relies on Angat and Ipo dams.
