Customer Satisfaction Survey

Its function generally is to monitor the CA, such as rate determination, service obligation targets and evaluation of the Concessionaires’ (Manila Water and Maynilad) performance concerning such service obligations. The Concessionaires are the ones directly responsible in the delivery of water, sewer and sanitation services to customers in Metro Manila, Rizal and some parts of Cavite (the MWSS Concession Areas).

This is in compliance with the performance rating agreement of the MWSS RO with the Government Commission for GOCCs (GCG).
