Manila Water said people in areas that were not supposed to be affected by the operations started storing water so that the “reservoirs were not completely” refilled from Thursday until Friday morning.
This resulted in “unexpected water service interruption” in several barangays in Quezon City, Mandaluyong, San Juan, and Pasig.
The company said it had started to augment the supply in reservoirs so it could bring back water service to the affected areas.
Meanwhile, it made this appeal: “We urge our customers to use water more responsibly and wisely in light of the weak El Niño we are currently experiencing and the rapid decline of water levels at La Mesa Dam while Manila Water continues to employ augmentation plans to mitigate the impact of these realities.”
The company also advised the public to continue monitoring its online channels for updates on the water supply situation.
Manila Water also posted an advisory about the affected areas caused by operational adjustments conducted by Manila Water.
