Manila Water eyes completing San Juan Reservoir by end of 2026

Manila Water is nearing completion of the ₱970-million San Juan Reservoir, scheduled for finalization by the end of 2026. The new 56-million-liter facility, located in Quezon City, replaces an aging reservoir built in 1968, which faced structural issues and seismic risks. Structural assessments by DCCD Engineering Corporation in 2011 and 2016 highlighted deteriorated conditions and potential failure during major earthquakes. The project includes demolition of the old reservoir and construction of a more resilient structure with updated systems to ensure reliable water service. As of July 2026, construction is at 84% completion.
