Hybrid Sewer System, gamit ng Maynilad para sa dagdag suplay

MANILA, Philippines — Gumagamit na ngayon ang Maynilad Water Services, Inc. (Maynilad) ng Hybrid Sewer System (HSS) para mapalakas pa ang pagkolekta sa wastewater mula sa mga households para tuloy maparami ang suplay.

“The HSS concept involves utilizing the drainage connected to the discharge outlet of residences to catch wastewater. Under this concept, the untreated wastewater coming from households will be intercepted by the hybrid system before it flows into the nearest body of water, and diverted to a sewer line for conveyance to a Maynilad sewage treatment facility where it will undergo proper decontamination before its release to the environment,” saad ng Maynilad.

Una nang ginamit ng Maynilad ang HSS concept sa kasagsagan ng pandemya sa COVID-19 noong 2020.

“Even in sewered areas where customers are typically given individual sewer connections, there are certain households that are difficult to connect to the existing sewerage system because of their location. The engineering solution we came up with was the HSS, which enabled us to provide sewerage services even to those customers in the periphery of the system, especially those in informal settlements,” pahayag ni Maynilad Chief Operating Officer Randolph T. Estrellado.

Sa ngayon, mayroon nang 93,000 sa Maynila ang gumagamit ng hybrid system, isa itong paraan para hindi direktang tapon sa estero ng Kabulusan, Estero dela Reina, Magdalena, Quiapo, San Lazaro, Sampaloc, San Miguel, Binondo, Maypajo, San Sebastian, Sunog de Apog, Uli-Uli, Valencia, Vitas, Estero de Paco, Estero de Balete, Estero de Concordia, Estero de Pandacan, Estero de Provisor & Tanque, Estero de Santebañez, at San Antonio de Abad ang tubig.
