Angat Dam supplies 96% of Metro Manila's water needs with a storage capacity of about 850 million cubic meters (30×10^9 cu ft).
Primarily a diversion dam, its elevation is maintained at 101 meters (331 ft) as it delivers water into tunnels that lead to La Mesa reservoir and Balara Filtration plants through three tunnels leading to three settling basins in Bigti, Norzagaray, Bulacan.
Five aqueducts connected to these settling basins will then deliver a maximum of 4 billion liters (1.1×10^9 U.S. gal) of water daily at the Novaliches Portal, which will then be conveyed through three open channels going to the Balara Treatment Plant.
La Mesa Dam is an earth dam located in Novaliches, Quezon City and it serves as a primary sedimentation basin prior to water treatment in the Balara and East La Mesa Treatment Plants.
On the other hand, Balara Filter 2 has been operational since 1958 and treats 1,130 million liters (300,000,000 U.S. gal) of water daily.
The East La Mesa Treatment Plant, located in Payatas, Quezon City, has a capacity of treating 150 million liters (40,000,000 U.S. gal) of water per day.
Pipelines laid and maintained across the East Zone since 1997 have spanned over 5,000 kilometers (3,100 mi), serving 99 percent of the company's concession area with a water supply pressure of 7 bar and above.
Siphoned sludge is then brought to Septage Treatment Plants where it is treated and returned to the environment safely.
