"Affected customers are encouraged to store enough water during times of the day when supply is available," Maynilad said.

"There might be a delay in the resumption of water service in your area. This is due to several factors such as your area’s elevation, its distance from our pumping stations, and the volume of withdrawal from our main lines," it added.
