Optimize the Antipolo Water Supply System by minimizing cost and improving the health of the local population.

Fast facts

  • The Antipolo water supply system presented many challenges: the limited capacity of the suction line, pressure distribution over rolling terrain, pressure surges as a result of the unreliable power supply, and the challenging economic circumstances of people in the areas targeted for expansion.
  • Models created in WaterGEMS and HAMMER helped Manila Water engineers identify and implement network improvements, which resulted in savings with both capital and operational expenditures.
  • After the network improvements in the Antipolo Water System were completed, the people of Antipolo can now enjoy clean and potable water twenty-four hours a day and seven days a week.

In order to optimize the Antipolo Water Supply System, Manila Water’s plan was to:

  • Cater for the anticipated rapid growth of the area from a current population of 656,000 people to 2.2 million by 2022,
  • Evaluate the steady state and transient hydraulics of the preferred pipeline, pump station and reservoir combination,
  • Improve the reliability and efficiency of the Antipolo network system.
