Maynilad cracks down on illegal connections, recovers 560,000 m3 of water

WEST Zone concessionaire Maynilad Water Services Inc. (Maynilad) recovered an accumulated volume of around 560,000 cubic meters of potable water that had previously been lost due to illegal connections, following its January to August 2024 implementation of 6,900 anti-illegal operations targeting unauthorized water connections, tampered meters, and unregistered lines across its service area.

This accumulated volume of recovered water was enough to meet the daily needs of around 3,500 water service connections, improving water supply availability and pressure for legitimately paying Maynilad customers.
