“We apologize to our customers for the inconvenience. These activities are being done so we can continue to improve the water infrastructure and ensure better water services for the long term,” Padua said.

The company encouraged affected customers to store water at least 3 days before the scheduled interruptions to prevent simultaneous heavy withdrawals of water from pipelines, which can reduce water pressure and cause some customers to have no water earlier than scheduled.

Maynilad has 40 water tankers on standby, ready to deliver water to affected areas as needed.

In the East Zone, some customers of Manila Water have also been hit by service interruptions that started early March due to low dam levels. Maynilad is sharing part of its supply with Manila Water, but the crisis has yet to be fully resolved. (READ: Manila Water laying pipes to get supply from Maynilad) – Rappler.com
