Building foundations for a water-secure future

With over 700 projects across Southeast Asia, Metro Pacific Water is a leading developer, owner and operator of water infrastructure projects and technologies—serving homes, industries, and entire cities.
Our Story

Metro Pacific Water (MPW)

is a trusted developer and operator of water infrastructure projects across Southeast Asia, dedicated to delivering sustainable solutions that span the entire water cycle.

Established in 2011, MPW manages a diversified portfolio of projects in the Philippines and Vietnam through concessions and Public-Private Partnership arrangements. Our operations include water supply, bulk water treatment, wastewater management, and advanced technologies that address the evolving needs of communities and industries.

Since its inception, MPW has focused in acquiring and developing key assets to secure and enhance water services in the region. In 2016, we invested in Metro Pacific Water Solutions, bringing over 25 years of proven expertise in wastewater treatment and patented technologies into our portfolio.

With this expanded expertise, our team has successfully reached our maximum potential capacity to 962MLD and completed more than 700 projects, serving municipal, commercial, and industrial clients.

Today, we continue to expand our reach—doubling coverage in the Philippines and tripling capacity in Vietnam—while driving operational excellence to reduce water loss and improve availability.

Behind our work is an experienced management team and board of directors with decades of combined expertise in finance, operations, technology, law, and business development. Together, we are building lasting partnerships and shaping a sustainable water future for generations to come.
