Maynilad customers in Caloocan, Malabon, Navotas, Valenzuela, Quezon City and Manila will experience daily service interruptions due to the “drastic cuts” in raw water allocation that started on Saturday, July 8.
Residents of Manila may be seen lining up with empty water containers, anticipating a water supply interruption in parts of Navotas, Malabon and Caloocan on Monday, July 10, 2023. Manila Water, in an announcement made on Sunday, said the interruption is due to the low water level in Angat Dam. The dam is projected to reach its minimum operating level of 180 meters above sea level, causing more than 500,000 Maynilad customers to experience a 9-hour water interruption.
Maynilad’s supply augmentation projects, as well as local rains at the Ipo watershed, helped to mitigate the impact of lower releases from Angat Dam. “Upon resumption of water service, please expect some discoloration in the supply. This is a normal consequence of service interruptions, as the returning supply scours the naturally occurring mineral deposits inside the pipelines. When this happens, let the water flow out briefly until it clears but use the initial flow of water for non-drinking purposes, such as for flushing toilets, to avoid wastage,” Maynilad said in its water service advisory.
National Water Resources Board Executive Director Sevillo David Jr. admitted that the reduction in raw water supply allocation becomes imperative to conserve water from Angat, the level of which has fallen below the 180 meters above sea level normal operating level.
