Maynilad: Water service interruptions for entire summer possible
Water concessionaire Maynilad Water Services, Inc. warned on Tuesday that some its consumers could possibly suffer water service interruptions through the dry season as allocation issues still remained unsettled.
According to a post on its official Twitter account, Mayniad gets raw water that is less than minimum required every day.
“As of April 16, Maynilad’s La Mesa Treatment Plants only receive an average of 2,305 million liters per day (MLD) of raw water,” Maynilad’s post said. “Maynilad needs to get a minimum of 2,360 MLD of raw water so it can maintain the level of stored water in its Bagbag Reservoir and prevent service levels to be affected.”
Maynilad blamed its service interruptions on dwindling allocations, stating that it had been receiving less than the 60 percent of raw water from Ipo Dam entitled to it.
“Consequently, some Maynilad customers will still experience low pressure to no water supply today(April 17) at 8 p.m. until tomorrow (April 18) at 4 a.m.,” Maynilad said. “Meanwhile, Maynilad is advising affected customers to store enough water during times of the day when supply is available.”
