Manila Water said "sizeable" progress has been observed in the ongoing construction of its East Bay Phase 2 (PH 2) Submarine Transmission Pipeline Project since it began last July 2023.

The project involves the laying of a vast submarine pipeline system to enhance water distribution in the region, according to the company.

The water utility firm said the two components of the project, Central Bay and West Bay have posted 24-percent and 44-percent completion rate, respectively.

The two components comprise the Submarine Transmission Lines that are essential components of the East Bay PH 2 Water Treatment Plant, Manila Water said.
