Manila Water Conducts Detailed Assessment and Shares Best Practice

Date: 
2009, January
Three experts from Manila Water assessed DAWACO’s services in greater detail, collected additional distribution network (e.g. pipe sizes, materials, connections) and identify a priority service area with residual chlorine issues. They also gave a short training on water quality assurance and pipe flushing/disinfection for 18 DAWACO staff and managers as a technical option to maintain adequate chlorine levels. After discussions moderated by USAID, DAWACO and Manila Water agreed to focus on the Son Tra District, where residual chlorine levels were below WHO standards and where about 6000 customers lived. USAID also facilitated the completion of the joint work plan as agreed by both partners.
