The groundbreaking ceremony for the CAMANA Water Reclamation Facility project of Maynilad was held in November 2019, but actual construction was announced to have started in March 2021. The project is an expansion of the existing 26 MLD Dagat-Dagatan Sewage Treatment Plant which was built in the 1980s.[3] Manila Water contracted DM Consunji Inc. (DMCI) to work on the expansion. Japanese firm JFE Engineering Corporation is also involved in the project.[2]
The sewage treatment plant is intended to serve the southern exclave of Caloocan, Malabon and Navotas which is within the scope of Maynilad's west zone. It is expected to become operational in 2024.[4]
