Water insecurity is one of the greatest challenges we face.

Thus, getting infrastructure financing right is

absolutely essential for achieving a water secure world.
water industry provides drinking water and wastewater services (including sewage treatment) to
residential, commercial, and industrial sectors of the economy.

2 types
Private owned companies responsible for regulatory and planning matters such as land and resource
management, quality setting, and policy development
Government owned subject to forms of public control and regulation ranging from local community-
based groups to statewide government monopolies.

THREE AREAS INVESTMENT IN WATER INFRASTRUCTURE

we can do better with what we have.
we should acknowledge the enormous diversity of water infrastructure.
governance matters.
Water industry in Metro Manila was privatized since 1997. It is operated, maintained and developed by
Manila Water (MW) and Maynilad by 2 concession contracts for the Eastern and Western halves of
Metro Manila.
Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System is government authority to manage activities of MW
and Maynilad in Metro Manila, include water tariff.
Water industry here mostly uses US/British measurement system.
Market Segmentation
By region: Luzon region of Philippines is the largest market for water treatment industries. Heavy
penetration of industrialization in the metro Manila region was the key driver. Visayas region with the
Cebu city was the second largest contributor. Mindanao region of Philippines has minimum contribution
in water treatment due to high reliance of economy on agriculture and low industrial penetration
By Industry: Electronics and semiconductor industry was the largest user of water treatment facilities in
Philippines. More than half of the overall exports from Philippines by value come from this industry
which demands high quality of water for manufacturing processes. It was followed by chemicals industry
and food and beverages industry. Power sector due to high presence of coal based power plants was
another major contributor in the industrial water and waste water treatment business.
• Water collection, treatment and supply records highest labor productivity

• The ratio of value added per worker, a simple measure of labor productivity, was estimated at
PHP1.3 million per worker.
• The highest labor productivity among industries was recorded by water collection, treatment
and supply valued at PHP1.4 million per worker. This was followed by treatment and disposal of
non-hazardous and hazardous waste with respective labor productivity of PHP1.3 million and
PHP0.8 million per worker.
