Maynilad expects customers’ water supply to be fully restored by Sunday, Nov. 15
Maynilad Water Services expects to fully restore water supply to its customers by Sunday, November 15, following disruptions caused by Typhoon Ulysses.
The water supply interruption was necessary because the typhoon caused unprecedented turbidity levels, exceeding 6,000 nephelometric units (NTU), in the raw water from Ipo Dam.
This high turbidity constrained Maynilad to reduce production at its La Mesa Treatment Plants to maintain water quality, significantly lowering actual water output.
As of Saturday, November 14, the majority of customers have normal water supply, with only a few elevated areas still experiencing limited availability.
Maynilad is boosting pressure in pipelines to improve supply to remote and elevated areas and has been managing the impact by deploying mobile water tankers.
