Impending Water Crisis??

600,000 households hit by water cutoff


Maynilad Water Services scored a "unilateral" decision by another state-owned utility National Power Corporation (NAPOCOR) to cut water supply from Angat Dam resulting in water shortage in some areas west of Metro Manila, ANC reported Saturday.

"Wala po kaming natanggap na abiso. Akala namin sa December pa po babawasan ang raw water supply from Angat Dam (We have not received any notice. We thought raw water supply from Angat Dam will be cut by December)," Jess Matubis, Maynilad’s vice-president for corporate communications said.

Matubis said that about 600,000 households or six million residents in Quezon City, Makati, Valenzuela, Parañaque and Manila were affected by the water shortage.

He said NAPOCOR made a sudden move to cut water supply from 41 cubic meter per second to only 39 pending a decision on the matter by the National Water Resources Board and water regulator Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System.

MWSS, however, denied Matubis’s claims noting that it has been a week since it notified the east and west zones concessionaires on the cutback in water supply.

NAPOCOR generates its water supply from Angat Dam. Earlier reports said that Angat Dam’s water level almost reached its critical mark of 180 meters.

On November 11, however, the dam’s water level reached 201 meters from its 194-meter mark due to the downpour of rain brought about by typhoon Queenie.

MWSS said the cut in water supply was a preparation for El Niño, a crisis the country is expected to experience starting March next year.

Water Crisis during summer... Too much water during the rainy season.

Angat Dam opened in 1967, La Mesa in 1989 to supply water in Metro Manila... (please correct me kung may additional water sources pa ang Metro)

2018 na, we need more (or at least another) dam since di naman aalis tao sa Metro Manila.

saw it in the news last night and told my housemates that we're experiencing same hot weather here just like when i was in KSA back in the late 80s.
54 deg C was my hottest experience back then. seems that we'll be surpassing that record in the hottest parts of luzon. though we're not experiencing the hot + high humid weather.

kahit dito sa norte, ang init na rin at pati tubig namin ay apektado na rin.

^ whoa! Pumalo ng 51C doon?!! [emoji43] sakit siguro sa ulo nun. I can just imagine the sticky, humid, dense- like air up there nowadays [emoji91]

Ingat na lang tayo sa heatstroke. Kelangan parati hydrated

Btw, pagasa says it's going to be a short summer. Rains will come quickly this year, probably by the 3rd week of may, due to the early onset of habagat

do what you gotta do so you can do what you wanna do
