00:00 It is expected that water supply will be increased for Metro Manila
00:04 by the time the project that collided with the Ipo Dam is completed.
00:07 This is the latest update from Clay Zalapardilla.
00:10 Using this tunnel boring machine,
00:14 the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System
00:19 and concessionaries started the drilling
00:21 of Barangay Big Ten or Zagaray, Bulacan on May 12, 2023.
00:26 A year later, the tunnel has been completed.
00:30 In San Mateo, more than 6 kilometers of tunnel
00:32 towards the Ipo Dam has been completed.
00:37 This is the new tunnel number 5
00:40 that was built by MWSS and concessionaries
00:43 here in North Zagaray, Bulacan.
00:46 It can carry 1,600 million liters of water per day
00:51 from the Ipo Dam towards Big Ten Basin
00:54 until it reaches the treatment facilities
00:57 and consumers in Metro Manila.
01:00 According to MWSS, the new tunnel is important
01:04 to ensure that there is no water leakage in Metro Manila.
01:09 MWSS has almost a decade-old water pipes.
01:14 It is said that 120 million liters of water
01:18 are wasted in sewage every day
01:21 compared to the water needs of 120,000 people.
01:27 Our delivery will be increased to the table
01:31 and the sewage will be avoided.
01:34 That is one of the actions we are taking
01:37 because we will save on the tunnels and aqueducts.
01:42 We will recover the sewage from our tunnels and aqueducts.
01:48 Unlike old pipes,
01:50 tunnel number 5 is seismic resilient
01:53 and resistant to erosion.
01:55 If our old tunnels collapse,
01:58 we will just get water.
02:00 The water will not come down in Metro Manila.
02:03 That is why these projects are very important.
02:05 It is about reliability.
02:07 In March 2025,
02:09 tunnel number 5 is expected to be fully operational.
02:12 The project is worth more than P3 billion pesos
02:16 that is being sold to customers.
02:19 It will not cost additional increase.
02:21 This is one of the projects
02:23 that is part of the Rail 3 Basin 2022.
02:26 We are joining this project
02:28 to show the public where your money is going.
