MWSS cuts water pressure for NCR
The Philippine Star
|April 06, 2024
The Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System has decreased water pressure for the National Capital Region (NCR) amid the continued decline in the elevation of Angat Dam as its level reached 197.58 meters, MWSS officials said yesterday.
In a message to The STAR, MWSS division manager Patrick Dizon said the water pressure for domestic use was down to three pounds per square inch from the previous seven psi.
Maynilad corporate communications head Jennifer Rufo assured customers that they would not feel the decrease in water pressure.
"We only do alternating pressure management across our concession and since this is during off-peak hours, it is not felt by customers," Rufo told The STAR.
Dizon said that the drop in water pressure is one of the management strategies implemented by the MWSS to preserve the elevation of Angat Dam.
"What we are doing is to decrease the pressure of water for our customers. It will not result in water interruption," he said.
