| The town's Aguas Potables were constructed in 1922. On March 28, 1923, the building project was finished. It was given the honorary name "Mariano S. Tengco Water Works". It stands eighty feet tall (24.4 meters), which is about similar to a seven-story building. That is why it became Malolos' primary landmark. Additionally, it is situated next to the Malolos Cathedral at the front of the city's town market.

| Aguas Potables was planned for demolition in 2015 because the building was tilting as a result of the weak construction materials. However, the National Museum of the Philippines decided to stop it in order to preserve it because it was almost a century old. Aguas Potables celebrates its 100th anniversary this year.
