WEST ZONE concessionaire Maynilad Water Services, Inc. is earmarking around P7.7 billion for initiatives to reduce water losses and maximize available water supply across its service areas.

In a briefing on Tuesday, Ryan B. Zamora, Maynilad’s head for Central Non-Revenue Water (NRW), said most of the allocated investment will be used for pipe replacement.

“Recovering water through NRW reduction helps us optimize existing infrastructure and improve overall system efficiency,” Mr. Zamora said. “Much of this work happens underground through continuous monitoring and early leak detection before problems become visible at the surface.”

For 2026, NRW initiatives will support pipe replacement in high-loss areas, expanded leakage control activities, network diagnostics, and the continued evaluation of emerging technologies.

NRW refers to water that is not billed and is lost due to leaks or illegal connections.
