Manila Water has made available thirty (30) water tankers to provide for the needs of evacuees affected by the eruption of Taal Volcano, in various sites in Southern Luzon. Deployed water tankers will be refilled by Laguna Water and their personnel will also lend assistance with the tankering activities. Meanwhile, Manila Water Foundation (MWF) will also be sending 2,000 units of 5-gallon bottles of potable water to various evacuation sites, in coordination with the Batangas Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (PDRRMO).

Manila Water would like to state certain facts in the interest of public discussion on the award recently issued by an arbitral tribunal in favor of Manila Water as administered by the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA). We wish to clarify that the PCA is an internationally recognized inter-governmental organization.

Manila Water will be completing remaining works at its Cardona Water Treatment Plant in Rizal. This will result to temporary water service interruption affecting around 363,000 population in 72,521 households, commercial and business establishments in 54 barangays in several towns in Rizal Province, beginning Wednesday, December 4, 2019 at 10:00 PM until 6:00 AM, Thursday, December 5, 2019.

Manila Water, through the Manila Water Foundation, Inc. (MWF), readily came to the aid of the victims of the recent earthquake in Mindanao, by providing much-needed drinking water to the evacuation centers in North Cotabato and Davao del Sur, which were hardest-hit in the series of tremors experienced last week. Through coordination with various government agencies, MWF was able to bring in two thousand twenty (2,020) 5-gallon bottles of Healthy Family drinking water to the evacuation centers in Kidapawan City and the towns of Makilala and Tulunan in North Cotabato, and three hundred (300) bottles to Magsaysay town in Davao Del Sur.

As we have consistently warned since last week, since the water level at Angat Dam continues to decline, Manila Water will begin implementing rotational water service interruption on the evening of October 24, 2019. This is necessary because we want to ensure that the still-limited raw water supply will last even beyond the summer of 2020 since Angat Dam may not reach its ideal 212-meter level by the end of 2019. As such, we enjoin our customers to use water wisely and responsibly. Please store water when available, and just at enough amount to serve your needs during hours of service interruption.
