The Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS) plans to implement the Kanan-Agos project in an attempt to provide an alternative water source for Metro Manila and surrounding areas in the Philippines. The project is estimated to cost P12 billion and will have two phases.
The first phase will have a capacity of 800 million litres per day (MLD) and the second phase will have a capacity of 3,000 MLD for a total capacity of 3,800 MLD. The water will be sourced from the Kanan River and will be shared by Maynilad Water Services Incorporated (Maynild) and Manila Water Company Incorporated.
MWSS is currently awaiting approval from the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) before implementing the project.
