Maynilad sets 43-hour water supply cut in Quezon Cit
MANILA, Philippines - Customers of Maynilad Water Services Inc. in Quezon City will experience an almost two-day water interruption starting on Dec. 5 as the firm replaces a valve in the area.
In a briefing yesterday, Maynilad said the 43-hour service interruption will start at 8 p.m. on Dec. 5 and end at 4 p.m. on Dec. 7.
The interruption will affect almost 300,000 customers in Barangays Apolonio Samson, Baesa, Bahay Toro, Bungad, Damayan, Del Monte, Katipunan, Mariblo, Paltok, Paraiso, San Antonio, Sangandaan, Talipapa, Tandang Sora and Veterans Village.
Maynilad said it will take about 43 hours to stop the water flow along its 1,200-meter primary line along Tandang Sora Avenue, insert a line stopper to isolate the old valve and install a new valve before allowing the water to flow again.
“We need to replace the valve, which has been there since 1980,” Maynilad water supply operations head Ronald Padua said.
Maynilad advised its customers to store enough water for the duration of the interruption.
Meanwhile, Maynilad will deploy 14 mobile water tankers that will deliver free water to affected customers.
