Manila Water announced on Tuesday that it will provide monetary relief for all its customers in its coverage area.
In a press briefing, Manila Water President and Chief Executive Officer Ferdinand dela Cruz said a one-time bill waiver scheme would be reflected in the April bill of its customers.
The waiver, he said, aims to address the “widespread inconvenience” caused by the unprecedented water shortage that hit over a million households in portions of Metro Manila and Rizal province.
Manila Water will waive the minimum charge for all its 6.8 million customers across its East Zone concession area for their March consumption which ranges from P76 to P656 per customer.
“For most severely affected barangays… [those] without water for 24 hours for more than a week, they will not be billed for their whole water consumption for March,” dela Cruz said.
Manila Water services the cities of Mandaluyong, Marikina, Pasig, Pateros, San Juan, Taguig, Makati and parts of Quezon City and Manila. It also serves Antipolo City and the Rizal towns of Angono, Baras, Binangonan, Cainta, Cardona, Jala-Jala, Morong, Pililla, Rodriguez, Tanay, Taytay and San Mateo. Jordeene B. Lagare
