The water level of Angat Dam is now below the minimum operating levels, forcing Maynilad to implement water interruption in parts of Metro Manila. | JEMendozaINQ
However, Maynilad said the rains in the Ipo Dam could cushion the effect of the water interruption.
“And since Maynilad now generates additional water from its various supply augmentation projects, the actual duration of these service interruptions may be shorter than projected,” it said. As of 5:00 am Monday, the water concessionaire said Angat Dam is operating 179.6 meters from 179.58 meters in the previous period.
“However, this also means that Maynilad will get less supply than it needs to sustain normal service levels,” it said.
