Water interruptions to affect 4 cities in Metro Manila

Residents of the cities of Makati, Manila, Para帽aque and Pasay should brace for up to 57 hours of water service interruptions starting March 5 until March 7, following a major pipe leak repair in one of Makati City鈥檚 busy thoroughfares. Maynilad Water Services on Tuesday said the repair of the 2,200 millimeter-diameter steel pipe along Osme帽a Highway corner Zobel Roxas will take 52 hours, disrupting the flow of water supply for 580,000 customers in the four cities. The steel pipe is located 7 meters underground and will have to be exposed for proper damage assessment. Maynilad advised residents in the affected areas to store water that will last them up to three days. Service interruptions will begin on March 5 at 3 p.m. until March 6 at 11 a.m. at some areas in Manila; until March 7 at 9 p.m. and 11:59 p.m. in Para帽aque City; and until March 7 at 2 a.m. in Pasay City.
