Continuing journey to promote awareness about water and wastewater management process: Laguna Water’s Lakbayan reopens its doors to stakeholders and partners

To continue its mission of promoting sustainable and innovative solutions to the community, Laguna Water once again opened its doors to conduct facility tours through its program Lakbayan. Since the beginning of the pandemic in 2020, the company has stopped accepting visitors for health and safety matters. This year, with the lifted quarantine protocols and improving COVID-19 cases, the company welcomed visitors again, but with caution and proper health and safety protocols to ensure the safety of guests and Laguna Water employees. Through Lakbayan or the company’s facility tour, stakeholders and partners will have a deeper appreciation and understanding of the entire water and wastewater management cycle. Before the tour, Laguna Water presents a quick story about the company’s transformational journey and milestones. Among the facilities visited are the Matang Tubig Spring, Laguna Wellfield, the booster facility in Laguna Technopark Inc. (LTI), and the LTI – Sewage and Septage Treatment Plant (LTI-SSTP). Laguna Water’s facility managers conduct a brief discussion about the processes and operations of the facilities. 

With the reopening of Lakbayan, some of the stakeholders and partners who visited this year were investors from various banks and investment firms, local government unit partners from Pagsanjan and Binan, Laguna, engineering students from Cavite State University, foreign visitors from Mozambique and local media partners. This year, Laguna Water upgraded its LTI - SSTP to comply with the guidelines set by the DENR. The Biological Nutrient Removal (BNR) or Bio-nutrient project constructed tanks and included additional processes to lower nutrients such as nitrates, ammonia, and phosphates. BNR is added to LTI-SSTP to comply with DENR DAO 2021-19, which aims to strengthen the limits of monitored parameters before returning treated wastewater to our rivers.
