Pasay, Las Pi帽as, 笔补谤补帽补辩耻别 to go dry
Customers of Maynilad Water Services Inc. (MWSI) in parts of Pasay, Las Piñas, Parañaque, as well as Cavite province, should expect service interruptions ranging from 14 hours to 28 hours from Tuesday to Friday this week.
In a statement, Maynilad said that due to a flood control project of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), these areas will experience waterless periods.
“Designed to address the perennial flooding in Manila, the DPWH project involves the construction of an interceptor drainage box culvert (DBC) on Blumentritt Street,” the company added.
Maynilad explained that the DBC would cross its pipeline at the corner of Juan Luna and Hermosa Streets in Manila. This means that the water pipe would have to be realigned to allow the DPWH project to proceed.
“[We need] 72 hours to drain, realign and energize [the] affected water pipe because it is a 2,200-millimeter primary line, about seven feet in diameter,” it said.
The company added that in anticipation of the DPWH project, it had previously laid a 1,500-mm (about six feet) bypass line through which the water supply would continue to flow as the adjustment to the primary line was being done.
