Manila Water deploys 30 water tankers to aid Typhoon Carina evacuees, distributes treated wastewater for cleaning

Manila Water has deployed 30 water tankers to evacuation centers in Metro Manila and Rizal Province since Wednesday to assist people displaced by Typhoon Carina and the southwest monsoon.

The company's efforts have addressed the water supply needs of over 40,000 displaced individuals for drinking, bathing, and other activities, but some centers still lack a steady source of clean water.

Manila Water also coordinated with local government units to deploy tankers carrying treated wastewater for road clearing and cleaning public facilities, while Maynilad has delivered a tanker to the Baseco Evacuation Center in Manila.

Through its social development arm, Manila Water Foundation (MWF), the company has distributed drinking water and deployed mobile treatment plants in affected areas, with 3,000 units of 5-gallon potable water already delivered to several evacuation centers.

Both Manila Water and Maynilad are continuing their efforts to provide clean water to evacuation centers where supplies remain insufficient.

For those needing assistance, the concessionaires can be contacted through 1627 (Manila Water) and 1626 (Maynilad), or through their social media pages.
