Water Conservation Program

Mapúa University started its water conservation program in 2010. The Campus Development and Maintenance Office (CDMO) began with adjustments in regulating water flow rate in each pipeline and conducted repairs and preventive maintenance activities on a regular basis. These activities resulted in the gradual reduction of water consumption in both campuses of the university.

The university, spearheaded by the CDMO, is set to achieve an average of 7% reduction in water consumption from year to year until water consumption is limited to 20 liters per person (students, staff and faculty) per day. Enumerated below are the CDMO’s specific projects and regular activities to achieve the said target.

1. Repair of water pipeline of overhead water tank at the south rooftop
2. Installation of rainwater harvesting system at YIC Building
3. Strict implementation of preventive maintenance program for plumbing facilities and equipment
4. Rectification of worn-out water line with leak in toilets and laboratories
5. Conversion of plumbing fixtures with water saving capability in all toilets
