Manila Water’s Hinulugang Taktak sewage treatment plant (STP) in Antipolo City is currently more than 60% complete and is expected to be operational by December 2024.
As part of its massive push to provide top-quality sanitation services to its customers in the East Zone of Metro Manila and Rizal, the East Zone concessionaire has been constructing the P2.5-billion sewerage treatment plant at the Hinulugang Taktak Falls in Antipolo City.
The project aims to maintain and rehabilitate the ecological balance in the area by treating up to 16 million liters per day of wastewater from households before discharging it to the falls. It is expected to provide sewerage service to 148,000 residents of Antipolo City, specifically from Barangay dela Paz, San Isidro, San Roque, and San Jose.
“Aside from providing 24/7 water supply to our customers, sanitation remains at the forefront of our service improvement efforts. We believe that by providing quality sanitation, we are contributing to better community health and environmental sustainability in the province,” Corporate Communications Affairs Group Director Jeric Sevilla said.
The Hinulugang Taktak Sewerage System Project was made possible through a partnership among Manila Water, the Provincial Government of Rizal, the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System to contribute to the improvement of the environment through sanitation in the province.
