On April 27, the Davao City Water District has scheduled three sets of water interruption to allow its crews to accomplish separate service improvement projects.
The first water cut is from 8:00 AM until 5:00 PM will affect Countyside Village I and II, Canete Compound and Mountain View Subd. all in Bangkal. Said water cut is necessary to allow the tapping of newly installed 4-inch diameter Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) pipeline to the existing 4-inch diameter PVC pipeline for the mainline improvement at Mahogany St. in Countryside Village Phase II in Bangkal. After completion of said project, new service connections can be accommodated.
Another water service interruption is scheduled from 8:00 AM until 5:00 PM in Lanang to allow the tapping of the mainline improvement at 6th and 12th streets in Guadalupe Village. Areas with no water are M. Lozano Subd., Summer Hill Village and Guadalupe Village.
Third water cut is from 1:00 PM until 5:00 PM affecting the whole area of S.I.R. Phase 2 in Matina and all its immediate environs. Within the four-hour water cut, the operations and maintenance crew will install gate valve, by-pass line and blow-off valve at corner Aquino and Pag-Asa streets at S.I.R. Phase 2 in Matina as part of the utility’s mainline replacement project to help reduce non-revenue water.
Would-be affected customers are advised to store enough water prior to the scheduled water service interruptions as water supply may be restored earlier if work goes smoothly or later if unforeseen problems arise. In behalf of the DCWD management, acting general manager Edwin V. Regalado apologizes for the inconvenience the water service interruption may cause and likewise appeals for the understanding and cooperation of the affected customers.
The general public may call the DCWD trunk line at 221-9400 and press “1” on their phone dial to listen to the latest daily water updates, or contact its call center through the 24-hour hotline 221-9412 or 0927-7988966 for updates, complaints, queries and other matters pertaining to DCWD services.
