Now 33 percent complete, the Las Piñas WRF is slated to begin operations by July 2026. Once operational, it will treat up to 88 million liters of wastewater per day, serving approximately 360,000 residents across 20 barangay (villages) in Las Piñas City.

The Las Piñas WRF will utilize advanced Anaerobic-Anoxic-Oxic technology to effectively remove pollutants. The facility is designed to meet the Water Quality Guidelines and General Effluent Standards of 2016.

The Las Piñas WRF is part of Maynilad's larger program to accelerate the rollout of sewerage and sanitation services in Metro Manila. The project is financed through a partnership with the Japan International Cooperation Agency and the Development Bank of the Philippines.

Since 2007, Maynilad has invested over P46.4 billion in enhancing the wastewater infrastructure across its concession area. The company currently operates 22 Sewage Treatment Plants, two Sewage and Septage Treatment Plants, and one Septage Treatment Plant.

This latest facility is a testament to Maynilad's continued dedication to environmental sustainability and public health through improved wastewater management.
