REAL ESTATE developer DMCI Homes is planning to build residential projects equipped with full water recycling and treatment capabilities as part of its sustainability efforts.
In a statement on Tuesday, DMCI Homes said it will be building its first recycling and treatment facility in The Erin Heights, a single-tower development currently constructed along Commonwealth Avenue in Tandang Sora, Quezon City. The tower is set to open its doors to the public by October 2027.
“The facility is capable of collecting and treating wastewater to make it fit for general use, landscape irrigation, and maintenance of amenities, among other beneficial purposes,” DMCI Homes Vice-President for Project Development Dennis O. Yap said.
“For this project, we will be tapping our in-house experts and work with professional wastewater management contractors to ensure a quality and efficient treatment process. Our goal is to produce Class A-certified treated water in accordance with the standards set by the Environmental Management Bureau,” he added.
DMCI Homes claimed that The Erin Heights can potentially save up to 314 million liters of water annually with the treatment facility.
The developer added that home owners will be able to have savings on their water bills and store backup water supply for the community in preparation for a water shortage.
According to DMCI Homes, it plans to establish full water recycling and treatment facilities in other future projects.
“DMCI Homes puts strong emphasis on making its properties and future developments environmentally sound and sustainable. The Erin Heights will only be the first in the company’s roster of future projects to apply the full water recycling capability,” the real estate developer said. — Revin Mikhael D. Ochave
