On 06 February 2024, MWSS Regulatory Office Chief Regulator Patrick Lester N. Ty led the ceremonial signing of the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the MWSS RO and the Yokohama Water Company, Ltd. (YWC), represented by its Executive Director and General Manager for Waterworks and Sewerage Department Koichi Hasegawa. The MOA signifies a strengthened partnership aimed at improving water services in the Philippines, specifically within the Concession Area of Maynilad Water Services, Inc..
Through this collaboration, the MWSS RO and YWC will survey Maynilad’s Non-Revenue Water (NRW) systems and programs. The findings will be used to formulate recommendations for reducing NRW to a more reasonable level, ultimately enhancing the quality of water services in the West Concession Area.
In his message, Chief Regulator Ty expressed gratitude to YWC for partnering with the MWSS RO in this endeavor. He also affirmed his commitment to continuously working with the Japanese, who are renowned globally for their technological advancements and innovations.
Additionally, the MWSS RO delegation comprising Chief Regulator Ty, Technical Regulation Area Department Manager for Operation Monitoring Joel A. Dominguez, and Customer Service Regulation Area Supervising Public Utilities Regulation Officer Israel C.
