Meanwhile, some Maynilad Water Services, Inc. customers in Caloocan City must also brace for a water service interruption as the concessionaire is set to conduct maintenance activities in the area from April 3 to 4.
In its advisory, Maynilad said it will undertake an interconnection activity along P. Dela Cruz in Barangay 166 from 11 p.m. on April 3 to 4 a.m. on April 4.
An interconnection activity, according to Maynilad, allows the installation of the tee fitting needed to tap new primary or secondary lines.
“Maynilad regularly conducts maintenance activities to keep the entire distribution system in the West Zone in good condition,” the concessionaire said in Filipino.
“Maynilad has water tankers on standby, ready to deliver water to affected areas as needed,” it added.
