MANILA, Philippines — Manila Water is accelerating the Batasan–Balara Flow Diversion Project to help improve water quality in waterways, promote community cleanliness, and support better public health outcomes in Quezon City and Marikina.
The project enables the diversion of wastewater from the Batasan–Balara area to the Marikina North Sewage Treatment Plant, ensuring that collected wastewater is properly treated instead of flowing into nearby creeks and rivers. This contributes to reducing pollution load in urban waterways and creating a cleaner environment for surrounding communities.
The project is composed of two main components: the construction of Vista Real Creek (VRC) and Nangka lift stations, and the force main pipelaying works. Together, these facilities will strengthen the sewer network and expand access to sanitation services in densely populated areas.
The system being developed includes a channel interceptor and lift station at Vista Real Creek with a complementing pipeline network that traverses the floodwall jogging lane, crosses the Marikina River, and eventually conveys wastewater to the Marikina North Sewage Treatment Plant.
