Water outages will again hit the Philippine capital due to reduced supply at its main reservoir despite the start of the rainy season.
Manila Water Co Inc, a unit of Ayala Corp, said the eastern part of the capital was expected to have supply interruptions on Tuesday.
Maynilad Water Services Inc, a unit of Metro Pacific Investments Corp, told customers in a Facebook post to expect hours without supply.
Decreasing water level in Angat Dam, the capital’s main source, has forced the government’s National Water Resources Board to reduce supply, the two water concessionaires said.
The reservoir is over a metre away from its critical level, and the state agency said rains aren’t expected to replenish the dam until end-June due to a “monsoon break†or a dry period during the rainy season.
