Maynilad Water Services Inc. said portions of Metro Manila and Cavite will experience a week-long water service interruption on April 16 to 23.
Maynilad said there will be no water in parts of Las Piñas City, Muntinlupa City, Parañaque City, Pasay City, Bacoor City, and Imus City from April 16 to April 23. However, water services are expected to resume in some parts of the affected areas by April 22.
In an advisory, Maynilad said the water service interruption is due to the ongoing intensified cleaning of filters at the Putatan Water Treatment Plants.
“The turbidity level of the raw water in Laguna Lake has been gradually decreasing since the Amihan season ended, but the process is taking longer than anticipated. Due to this, we have to extend our maintenance activities at the plants,” the water concessionaire said.
“Normal operations will be restored once the cleaning of the filters is completed,” it added.
Maynilad advised its affected customers to store enough water and to let the water flow out briefly until it clears when the water service resumes.
In Parañaque City, eight barangays will be affected while six barangays will have no water in Pasay City on April 16-23.
The eight villages affected in Parañaque are Barangays BF Homes, Don Bosco, Marcelo Green, San Antonio, San Martin de Porres, San Isidro, Merville, and Moonwalk.
According to the Parañaque Public Information Office (PIO), Barangays BF Homes, Don Bosco, Marcelo Green, San Antonio and San Martin de Porres will have no water from 9:00 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Water service interruptions in Barangays Don Bosco, Marcelo Green, San Antonio and San Isidro will be from 2 p.m. to 11:59 p.m.
Barangays Merville and Moonwalk, including other areas in Don Bosco, will have no water from 8:00 p.m. to 6 a.m.
In Pasay City, the villages that will be affected by the service disruption from 8:00 p.m. to 6 a.m. are Barangays 181 to 185 and 201.
Maynilad said that their mobile water tankers will go around the affected areas to deliver potable water to residents.
The water concessionaire will also set up stationary water tanks in select areas.
