Manila Water aqueduct

The Novaliches-Balara Aqueduct 4 project of Manila Water Company Inc. in Quezon City is set to be completed in June. The NBAQ4 will pave the way for the inspection, assessment and subsequent rehabilitation of three other aqueducts, which have been operating since 1929, 1956 and 1968 to help ensure continuous water supply for more than 7 million users in the East Zone. The flagship project involves the construction of a new intake facility and access bridge at the La Mesa reservoir, a 7.3-kilometer underground aqueduct with a 3.1-meter diameter passing under Commonwealth Ave. and an outlet portal and downstream distribution works at the Balara Treatment Plant.
