Laguna De Bay As A Water Source Of Metro Manila
THERE WAS a water shortage recently in the eastern part of Metro Manila due to the lack of water supply provided by Manila Water, a concessionaire of the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS). Manila Water gets 1.6 billion liters of water per day (BLD) from Angat Dam in Bulacan along with the Maynilad, the other concessionaire supplying water to the western part of Metro Manila which gets its 2.4 BLD from the same dam, the main source (97%) of water of Metro Manila, to supply more than 16 million people in the metropolis. In March of this year, the Manila Water had a deficit of 1 BLD due to the low level of its water source in La Mesa Dam (Quezon City) supplied by Angat Dam. Maynilad did not have any water shortage for its customers in 17 cities and municipalities of Metro Manila not only because of its bigger water allocation from Angat Dam (which it is now sharing with Manila Water as of this writing) but also because 7% of its water comes from Laguna de Bay.
