Hello everyone.
I was browsing my FB account and stumbles on the news that one of the water utility that service our country will be shutting down one pump and it will be affecting various areas in the south of Luzon.
According to them they will interconnect the pump to the new water facility. My city is one of the affected areas but I am glad to know that our barangay or district will not be affected but some district around us will be affected. So I am thinking of preparing also because the water pressure might be affected and will bring ours to low supply of water.
It is irritating when news like this came along because the weather is hot already and having no water supply will be a bad addition.
Maynilad is temporarily shutting down its Putatan Water Treatment Plant (PWTP) in Muntinlupa City starting June 6. This shutdown is necessary so that PWTP can be interconnected to the new water...

Water is really important to me and I can't live in a place where there's shortage of it. It sucks..

Everyone needs water and for their goodness they want to interconnect one pump with another. Pressure will be slow and you have to adjust. I think time will not increase. It's also pressure situation for pump operators too.

Oh that's sad news, even here in Baguio, we always have water deliveries because of insufficient supply from Baguio Water District.

@Jessabuma probably because it is summer and there are more people than normally is so the water consumption is much higher

At least you have time to prepare. And at least you won't be long with low water pressure.
