THE
Ayala-led Manila Water Co. (MWC) has bagged a
$15-million (est. P675 million) contract on
performance-based leakage reduction and management
services in Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh City, formerly Saigon.
The
project, which will run for five years, is under the Ho
Chi Minh City Nonrevenue Water (NRW) management
subproject under the Vietnam urban water-supply
development project.
MWC said
it will deploy a team of NRW experts to Vietnam, to be
supported by a number of Vietnamese local
subcontractors. “The project will allow MWC to share its
expertise in the field of leakage reduction and
district-meeting area management.”
The
company, as the concessionaire of the east zone of Metro
Manila, has reduced its NRW to 20 percent at present
from 63 percent in 1997. |
