Two sets of temporary water service interruptions will happen on May 3 and 4 which are necessary for DCWD Engineering and Construction Department to interconnect newly laid pipelines to the Dumoy Water Supply System pipeline network.
From 8:00 AM until 5:00 PM of May 3, areas with no water are portion of Kawayan Drive (from 1st Avenue to Gen. Douglas Mc. Arthur Highway), portion of 1st Avenue (from Kadayawan Drive to San Antonio Drive), San Antonio Drive, 4th and 5th Avenues, all in Matina. Tapping of the newly installed 4-inch diameter Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) pipeline to the existing 6-inch diameter Mortar Line Coated Steel Pipe (MLCSP) will be done at San Miguel Extension in Matina.
Second water cut is on May 4, from 8:00 AM until 5:00 PM to allow the tapping of the newly installed 3-inch diameter Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) pipeline to the existing 6-inch diameter Mortar Line Coated Steel Pipe (MLCSP) at N. Torres St. in Bo, Obrero. Affected areas are Dao St., portion of Veloso St. (from Porras St. to R. Cabaguio St.), New Burgos St., portion of Porras St. (from Lacson St. to Veloso St.), and portion of N. Torres St. (from New Burgos St. to Veloso St.), all in Bo. Obrero.
DCWD acting general manager Edwin V. Regalado said that additional water service connections will be accommodated once the project is completed. He appeals for the understanding and cooperation of the affected customers and advises them to store enough water prior to the scheduled water interruptions as water supply may be restored earlier if work goes smoothly or later if unforeseen problems arise.
