(City of Muntinlupa = +5,900 HAS.)

* AQUACULTURE
* NAVIGATION
* DOMESTIC H2O SUPPLY
- Ayala Alabang Village
- 300 MLD (Proposed)
 SANITATION SITUATION
• Toilet & Septic Tanks: 60,000+ HHs &
establishments (80%)
• Sewerage Coverage: 20,000 HHs &
establishment (15%): Ayala Alabang & Filinvest
area
• Improper Sanitation System (w/ toilet but direct
discharge) (5%): mostly in depressed areas &
informal settlements along the lake
 ISSUES
• Only 2 areas in the Muntinlupa City is “sewered”
• Major sources of pollution = domestic (70%)
• Majority of households rely on septic tank system
– 1) Improperly designed (undersized)
– 2) Poorly Maintained - “free flow”
– 3) Obsolete design - w/ leaching chamber or open
bottom
• Water Utility Service (Maynilad) - No service in
sewerage
• Groundwater = main source of domestic water
 PROBLEMS
• Polluted water bodies: SW & untreated sewage
• Groundwater contamination
• Diarrhea cases: prevalent along the lakeshore
area & depressed areas
• Land subsidence

 LINAW PROJECT
Local Initiatives for Affordable Wastewater treatment Project
 RATIONALE
• The Clean Water Act requires that within 5
years, all subdivisions, condominiums,
commercial centers, hotels, hospitals,
market places, and public buildings be
connected to a sewerage system. In the
draft law, LGUs are required to play a
significant role
• 1/3 of illness due to water borne diseases,
18 deaths per day;
• Annual economic cost $1.3 Billion (overall)
 LINAW APPROACH
• Involve stakeholders
• Use social marketing
• Promote appropriate technologies
• Promote user fees for full cost recovery
 OBJECTIVES
• Develop wastewater and sanitation action plans
through a participatory stakeholder process, including
the identification of short, medium and long term
strategies;
• Implement incremental steps for low-cost technology
solutions to address site-specific sanitation and
wastewater management problems;
• Develop and implement a public awareness campaign
regarding sanitation and wastewater problems,
management issues, and technology and financing
options;
• Build the capacity of LGU staff on designing low-cost
wastewater treatment systems, packaging projects for
funding, and developing public information
campaigns.
 SOLUTIONS
• Rapid Interventions • Long-Term Projects
– Wastewater treatment – IEC Program
system for the – Wastewater treatment
Muntinlupa Public system (communal/
Market (being manage clustered systems) for
by the CGM) other densely populated
– IEC Program areas & other city
– Incorporation of a development areas
community sanitation – Development of a
center & wastewater septage management
management design in system for the City of
at least two Muntinlupa
communities
 Public Markets
Generate High-Strength Wastewater
Public Markets generate
wastewater from:
• “Wet section” stalls – meat,
fish, poultry
• Produce sales
• Public restrooms
• Prepared food area
Pre-treatment devices
including screens & grease
traps needed to protect
treatment plant
 Project Info

RAW WASTEWATER PUMPING ANAEROBIC BAFFLED REACTOR

SBR AERATION RECLAIMED WATER REUSE

Recycled Water System
• Filtered and disinfected
water is pumped to a gravity
holding tank then into the
urinal/toilet flushing system
• Reclaimed effluent is also
used for street washing/plant
watering/fire water.
• Using reclaimed water saves
on pumping costs and use of
potable water obtained from
deep wells (50% = Php
525/day = Php 15,750/month)
Coco Based Biofilter Unit
Cocopeat Filtration System
•Attached growth process
•Utilizes coco-based material
as filter media
• Provides high surface area
and is very resilient in
wastewater environment
• Timed dosing draws oxygen
into the pore spaces, providing
aerobic treatment and filtration
• Applicable for home,
commercial establishments &
resorts
• Modular & low cost
