In its commitment to continuously improve services in Metro Manila’s East Zone, Manila Water recently beefed up its fleet of water tankers and desludging trucks, adding a total of 58 units.
Of these, 33 are desludging trucks meant to accelerate the cleaning of customers’ septic tanks within the concession area. Access to narrow streets and congested communities is now possible with the deployment of smaller five cubic-meter and two cubic-meter capacity desludging trucks. The additional 25 water tankers allow the company to augment water supply to its communities and evacuation areas in times of disasters and calamities and when needed during emergency water service interruptions. “The additional fleet units translate to increased operational efficiency and business resiliency,” shared Thomas Mattison, Group Director for Corporate Operations of Manila Water.
Manila Water provides water and used water services to the East Zone concession area, which comprises Mandaluyong, Marikina, Pasig, Pateros, San Juan, Taguig, and parts of Makati, Quezon City and Manila as well as the entire Rizal province.
