Muntinlupa Mayor Ruffy Biazon on Tuesday underscored the need for the government and the private sector to keep an eye on all water resources, especially Laguna Lake, which is a major source of potable water.
In a statement, Biazon said it is imperative to protect the lake from all pollutants to keep its quality “stable,” adding that there is also a looming El Niño phenomenon.
“And with climate change and rapid urbanization putting undue stress on existing raw water sources, additional sources must be developed,” he added. In the same statement, West Zone concessionaire Maynilad Water Services, Inc. said it has laid out interventions, such as the installation of ultrasonic algae control equipment and upgrade of its silt curtain, to prevent the situation from worsening that may trigger water interruption.
