A new water treatment plant in Pasay City is expected to help mitigate the impact of El Niño by turning wastewater into clean and potable water.

In a “24 Oras” report from Marisol Abdurahman on Tuesday, dark, smelly wastewater from households within the city could be seen flowing into a new Maynilad water treatment plant. It will undergo a thorough treatment to become potable water.

After this treatment, it also undergoes a process through a filtration system.

“Ang trabaho nitong mga filtration system ay nagsasala ng iba't ibang contaminants, bacteria at viruses na present sa tubig,” Pasay New Water Facility Head Engr. Bryan Lopez said.

(The job of this filtration system is to filter different types of contaminants, bacteria and viruses that are present in the water.)

“Para masigurado na ang mga natitirang microorganisms, bacteria ay mapatay…na ultrafiltration trays,” he added.

(To make sure that the remaining microorganisms, bacteria are killed… by ultrafiltration trays.)

According to the Head of Water Supply Operation Engineer Ronald Padua, after this initial filtration, it will undergo another series of processes to ensure that the water is clean enough to distribute to customers.

The water processed passes the Philippine National Standards for drinking water. For now, the new facility is producing four million liters of water everyday.
