Drainage and Sewerage - Existing Situation

Some Barangays such as San Rafael I-V and Citrus have naturally good drainage due to their topography. However, inadequate drainage infrastructure has already caused flooding in some areas of Barangays Sapang Palay and San Manuel. This is due to their location in low-lying areas and development build-up along the river's edge. Extensive infrastructure improvement may be required to address flooding concerns in riverside barangays.

There is presently no public sewerage system in SJDM. Domestic wastewater is disposed through soil percolation, drainage canals or directly to surface water bodies. The lack of a disposal programme has significantly contributed to the deterioration of creeks, rivers and ultimately the Marilao River.

The major surface water bodies traversing the city are Sto. Cristo, Sta. Maria and Kipungoc Rivers which serve as receiving water bodies for stormwater run-off.
