Water service interruptions in some city parts May 16, 17, 20

Three sets of water service interruption have been scheduled by Davao City Water District to give way for completion of service improvement projects.
First set is from 8:00 PM of May 16 until 2:00 AM of May 17 affecting the entire Flores Village in Bangkal and immediate environs. This water cut is needed for the installation of gate valves and bypass pipe for the proposed installation of pressure regulating valve at Flores Village. Said project once completed will help reduce non-revenue water.
Second set is on May 20 from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Affected are some areas in Panacan particularly San Miguel Street, San Miguel Village, Sunrise Village, Doña Mercedes Phases 1 and 2, Pizzaro Village, Benjamin Hills, Don Ramon Village, Veterans Village and Emma Village. DCWD’s Engineering and Construction Department (ECD) crew will tap the newly installed 100mm diameter Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) pipeline to the existing 150mm diameter PVC pipeline for the mainline improvement at San Miguel Centro, Km. 14 in Panacan.
Another water cut is scheduled on May 20 from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM affecting Blue Diamond Village and Puroks 2 to 8 in Brgy. Communal. The ECD crew will tap the newly installed 100mm diameter PVC pipeline to the existing 100mm diameter PVC pipeline for the mainline improvement at Purok 1-B Sto. Rosario Relocation Area in Brgy. Communal.
The second and last sets of water cut will allow for accommodation of additional service connections.
DCWD general manager Edwin V. Regalado advises would-be affected customers to store enough water prior to the scheduled water interruptions. He also asks for their understanding and cooperation. Water supply may be restored earlier if work goes smoothly or later if unforeseen problems arise.
