There will be no water supply interruptions despite the National Water Resources Board lowering the allocation for Metro Manila by one cubic meter per second starting today, an official of the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System said yesterday.

The MWSS is still awaiting the NWRB’s decision on its request for the board to maintain the 50 cms allocation for Metro Manila, MWSS water and sewerage management department manager Patrick Dizon said in an interview with The STAR.

Dizon said the MWSS cited as reason for the retention of the 50 cms allotment the forecast of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration that there is now a 60 percent chance of La Niña for July, August and September. According to Dizon, the National Irrigation Administration also agreed to allow the water concessionaires to borrow at least three cms from its allocation from Angat Dam.
