Laxa said that there are standby tankers to assist the residents affected by the water interruption.

The affected residents, she said, could call Maynilad’s hotline at 1626 and provide their address in order for the standby tankers to provide them water.

“Humihingi po kami na paumanhin sa mga customers naming affected pero sinisiguro namin na mag-iimprove ang ating serbisyo,” Laxa said in an interview with Radyo Inquirer 990 AM.

“Bagong latag po ang ating mga linya, so syempre mas efficient po ang ating mga tubig natin, ‘yung supply natin,” she added.

With this, she appealed to the public in the affected areas to store water during the interruption.

The following list are the areas in Quezon City and Valenzuela that will be affected by the water interruption.

“Pero huwag po nating itatapon iyon. Pwede po nating gamitin pang flush o panglinis ng atin pong mga garahe,” she added. /je
