Davao City Water District advises of a water service interruption on December 9, 2019 from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM affecting some Catalunan Grande areas.
Specific affected areas arethe entire Alejandra National HOA, San Miguel HOA, Sitio Sto. Niño Ilihan, Sitio Sta. Martha, and San Miguel Street.
DCWD needs to temporarily shut off water supply in the affected areas to give way to two tapping works of a newly installed pipeline to DCWD’s existing pipeline along San Miguel Street. This is part of DCWD’s pipeline improvement project from Sitio Ilihan Road to Luwalhati Subd., which upon completion will cater to additional service connections and improve water pressure and availability in the affected areas.
On behalf of the DCWD management, General Manager Edwin V. Regalado 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. Do not drink tap water immediately but if needed, boil water beforehand as safety precaution.
The general public may visit DCWD website (www.davao-water.gov.ph) and official Facebook page (www.facebook.com/davaowater) for the latest water service updates. They may also call the Central Information Unit / Call Center through the 24-hour hotline 235-DCWD (3293) and press “4” on their phone dial for the latest daily water updates or contact 0927-7988966, 0925-5113293, and 0908-4410653 for any matters pertaining to DCWD services.
