Davao City Water District advises the public of a water service interruption on September 2, 2023 from 9:00 AM to 11:59 PM affecting some areas served by Panacan Water Supply System (WSS)
Specific affected areas are portion of Davao-Agusan Road (from corner Villarosa Street in Bunawan and Bunawan Police Station to Lasang Bridge) and Lasang Proper (from corner Davao-Agusan Road and Lasang Bridge to Tambongon and Bucana).
DCWD has to temporarily shut off the water supply in the affected areas to give way to five tapping/looping activities along Davao–Agusan Road for the pipeline improvement along Davao-Agusan Road from Buhisan Tibungco to Lasang Proper. This project is part of the preparation works for the Davao City Bulk Water Supply Project of DCWD, which upon completion will improve water supply in most areas in Davao City.
The DCWD management asks for the understanding and cooperation of would-be-affected customers and advises them to store enough water prior to the schedule. Water supply may be restored earlier if work goes smoothly or later if unforeseen problems arise.
DCWD conducts flushing after service works are completed. However, once water is restored, customers are advised to open all faucets and allow water to run for at least two minutes. While doing this, do not drink tap water immediately. Water may be boiled as an additional safety precaution.
For the latest water service updates or any DCWD-related concerns, the general public may contact DCWD’s 24-hour call center telephone hotline at 244-6767, text support at 0927-798-8966, 0925-511-3293, or 0908-441-0653, and chat support in the DCWD’s website (www.davao-water.gov.ph) or Facebook page (www.facebook.com/officialDCWD).
