Maynilad Water Services, Inc. is cutting water flow to five of its service areas for as much as 12 hours daily starting July 12, following a further reduction in the supply of raw water from the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System .
At 48 CMS, Maynilad will get less supply than it needs to sustain normal service operations. Spreading out the limited supply will necessitate daily service interruptions in some portions of the West Zone, which includes the cities of Caloocan, Malabon, Manila, Navotas, Quezon City, and Valenzuela. Maynilad advises users to allow the water to 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.
“Based on our discussion, it will now depend on each LGU because the demographics of our cities are not the same,” Zamora told a TV interview, adding that the cities can pass their own ordinances. PAGASA climate monitoring chief Ana Solis said the possibility of El Niño is high. She said rainfall is expected to decrease in September and drop further from October to December this year.
Senate Minority Leader Aquilino Pimentel III urged President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to address the water shortage and El Niño as he warned of their adverse effects on various sectors of the economy. Citing a study by Columbia University, Pimentel said that the El Niño event of 1997/98 left 70 percent of the country experiencing devastating drought conditions.
