MANILA – The Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS) on Friday imposed “financial penalty” on concessionaire Maynilad Water Services for service interruption in parts of Las Piñas. Based on the evidence gathered by the MWSS regulatory office, Maynilad customers in parts of Las Piñas City were “deprived” of water services with a minimum pressure of 7 psi for a period of more than 15 days, the MWSS said in an advisory. Maynilad has been ordered to rebate P2,500 per household in the severely affected areas, which should be applied in the succeeding water bills, the MWSS said. “The primary reason is Maynilad’s failure to provide 24/7 water services to its customers who were severely affected by water service interruptions last May 2019” in portions of Las Piñas City, the MWSS said. Last April, Ayala-led concessionaire Manila Water was similarly ordered to pay a total of P1.13 billion in fines following massive … [Read more...] about MWSS penalizes Maynilad for water interruptions in Las Piñas

Maynilad: Brace for 2-week water supply interruption MANILA, Philippines — Customers of west zone concessionaire Maynilad Water Services Inc. in southern Metro Manila will have to endure a two-week supply interruption amid the quality of water in Laguna Lake. In an advisory issued yesterday, the water firm said portions of Parañaque, Las Piñas, Muntinlupa and Cavite would have low pressure to no water supply until May 14. This is equivalent to around 170,000 water service connections. “We have supply constraints because of the proliferation of algae in Laguna Lake. Increased algae in raw water requires additional cleaning of our treatment plant filters, and this affects our level of production,” Maynilad spokesperson Jennifer Rufo said. The algae proliferation was observed in the lake on April 23 due to the warmer temperature brought by El Niño. “We are constrained to implement rotating supply interruptions in the … [Read more...] about Maynilad: Brace for 2-week water supply interruption
