MANILA (AFP) – Completion of a planned sewerage system for the Philippine capital, which has one of the world's most polluted waterways, is set to be delayed by over 20 years, the environment ministry said Friday.
Two private companies had been contracted to build sewerage and treatment plants for the 11-million-strong Metro Manila area, but a planned completion date of 2009 was set to be delayed until about 2031, said Jonas Leones, assistant director of the Environmental Management Bureau.
