Manila and Caloocan water supply cut for 22 hrs


Water supply for some households in Manila and Caloocan City will have a 22-hour cut-off on Saturday to give way to repairs of busted pipes in the areas.

The water supply interruption will start March 29, from 1 a.m. to 11 p.m.

Maynilad Water Services Inc. (MWSI) in its advisory said the rehabilitation work will entail the insertion of two butterfly valves on existing 400-mm and 500-mm mainlines along Rizal Avenue extension near R. Papa Street in the boundary of Caloocan and Manila.

The rehabilitation of the water pipes will be simultaneous with repair work at the Tondo pumping station in Manila to improve the water supply in underserved areas of Manila and Caloocan.

The parts in Manila affected will be areas bounded by Rizal Avenue, Mayhaligue, E. Remigio, Quezon Boulevard, C.M. Recto, Estero dela Reina, and Dagupan Ext. (railroad), Aurora Boulevard and Blumentritt.

In Caloocan, the areas bounded by 5th Avenue, A. Bonifacio, C-3 Road, Chinese Cemetery, R. Papa (creek) and PNR railroad will be affected.

Meanwhile, the area bounded by Blumentritt, Antipolo, Aurora Boulevard and Dimasalang in Manila will experience low pressure to no water.

MWSI also advised affected customers to store water good for the duration of the water service interruption.

The rehabilitation is in line with mission of the Maynilad's new owners, DMCI and Metro Pacific, to upgrade the water system and improve service throughout the west zone.

Customers may call Maynilad Water Hotlines 1626 or 4362000, or text Maynilad 2898.
