In anticipation of high demand in the dry season, Manila Water said it had been executing contingency and augmentation projects to ensure uninterrupted services as part of its P181-billion Service Improvement Plan.According to the concessionaire, it has been utilizing its Cardona Water Treatment Plant in Rizal province, which draws water from Laguna Lake, to treat up to 100 million liters per day and provide clean and potable water.
This led to less supply flowing into the Novaliches Portal shared by Manila Water and Maynilad, prompting prolonged service interruptions in the latter’s concession area.Water loss and the impending El Niño phenomenon encouraged the National Water Resources Board to grant an additional capacity of 50 cubic meters per second —2 CMS higher than the usual 48 CMS—coming from Angat from April 1 to April 15.
“At 50 CMS from Angat, water reaching the portal should be at 4,000 MLD. But we have not been receiving this amount, so this means there are losses,” Jennifer Rufo, Maynilad head of corporate communications, told the Inquirer in an interview.
