Some 42,000 residents are expected to benefit from continuous water supply once Manila Water’s on-going P320-million water supply project in San Mateo, Rizal is completed.
The project, dubbed as Sto. Niño-Silangan Water Supply Project, is divided into two phases. Phase 1 will serve Barangays Gulod Malaya, Sto. Nino and portion of Silangan, and Phase 2, will serve the rest of Silangan and the elevated areas of Parang, Marikina.
The project involves the construction of a pumping station and reservoirs and the laying of 25 kilometers of water pipes, including mainlines.
This will benefit residents of 12 subdivisions occupying a total land area of 27 hectares.
Started in October 2007, the water project is expected to provide 15 to 20 million liters per day, which is enough for the needs of the more than 13,000 households.
