Maynilad to deploy water tankers in areas to be affected by service interruptions

Maynilad will deploy 35 water tankers in areas that will be affected by four days of rotating water service interruption scheduled next week, starting on August 10, to give way to a project of the Department of Public Works and Highways.

In an interview on GMA's “Balitanghali” program on Wednesday, Maynilad Media Relations Officer Grace Laxa said the tankers will provide a potable supply of water.

“'Yung pong ating water tankers ito po ay malinis. 'Yung pong lalagyan nito ay dinisinfect ito kaya ay puwedeng nating inumin. Safe itong pangluto at pang inom,” Laxa said.

“Pero ngayon pa lamang pinapayuhan natin ang mga apektadong customers na magipon po ng sapat na tubig,” she added.

The following areas will be affected by the service interruption: Caloocan, Manila, Pasay, Makati Paranaque Muntinlupa, Las Pinas, Cavite City, Bacoor, Imus, Kawit, Rosario and Noveleta.

Laxa said Maynilas is planning to work as fast as it can to prevent delays in the resumption of normal water service.

“Gayunpaman, 'yung sa pagbalik ng water supply posible tayong magkaroon ng konting discoloration ng tubig. Kapag nangyari ito padaluyin muna ang tubig mula sa gripo hanggang maflush ang discoloration o buhangin,” she said. -Andrei Medina/NB, GMA News
