The La Mesa Dam is a dam in Quezon City in the Philippines. It is part of the Angat-Ipo-La Mesa water system, which supplies most of the water supply of Metro Manila. The La Mesa Dam is an earth dam whose reservoir can hold up to 50.5 million cubic meters occupying an area of 27 square kilometers.
Metro Manila and its surrounding areas are divided into two water concessionaires: Maynilad Water and Manila Water.

The water collected in the reservoir is treated on-site by the Maynilad Water Services, and at the Balara Treatment Plant further south by the Manila Water. Both water companies are private concessionaires awarded by the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System, the government agency in charge of water supply.

  • The place now is being taken cared, It has now a hugh Swimming pool for kids and adults. Can rest and cook Barbecue under th shade of Narra And Acacia Trees, TRY IT.
  • This is wrong. The water treated by Maynilad does not come from La Mesa. Water allocation treated by Maynilad comes directly from the Angat Dam. It just so happened that the treatment plants of Maynilad is located near La Mesa. Water from La Mesa is Manila Water's allocation from Angat Dam.
