MANILA, (PIA) -- Maynilad has issued a notice to customers who will be affected by a longer water service interruption starting Saturday, April 1.

The west zone concessionaire made the announcement due to the decreasing water level in the La Mesa Dam that supplies residents in the east zone of Metro Manila.

Maynilad said this means that its water supply will be less, which will result in longer day service interruption.

The company first implemented daily water service interruptions on March 28 to preserve the remaining supply in Angat and Ipo dams amid the looming El Nino Phenomenon. (PIA-NCR)
