Service Improvements
Since Manila Water took over the East Concession Area in 1997, the company has reduced water system losses from 67 percent to only 11 percent in 2010, and expanded 24-hour water availability from only 26 percent to 99 percent of its service coverage area. The company has reportedly spent a total of Philippine Pesos 40 billion (approximately US Dollars 85 million) to improve the water and wastewater infrastructure of its concession area over the last 13 years.

Famous quotes containing the words service and/or improvements:
“Finally, your lengthy service ended,
Lay your weariness beneath my laurel tree.”
—Horace [Quintus Horatius Flaccus] (65–8)
“... these great improvements of modern times are blessings or curses on us, just in the same ratio as the mental, moral, and religious rule over the animal; or the animal propensities of our nature predominate over the intellectual and moral. The spider elaborates poison from the same flower, in which the bee finds materials out of which she manufactures honey.”
—Harriot K. Hunt (1805–1875)
