THE regulatory office of the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS) said on Monday that it is probing the prolonged water service interruptions by Maynilad Water Services, Inc. READ:

“The investigation is being conducted primarily to determine whether there is a ground to declare Maynilad to have failed contractually on its service obligations, and to impose the appropriate penalties on the concessionaire,” the regulator said in a statement.

“According to Maynilad, the reduced water production at the PWTP is caused by the prolonged high algal count and sustained high raw water turbidity in the Laguna Lake,” the regulator said. “We are taking short and long-term measures to address these concerns like intensifying filtration to get rid of the debris. Unfortunately, these extra interventions result in reduced water production, hence, the temporary rotating supply interruption. Meanwhile, we have been supplementing the supply of potable water through our mobile water tankers and stationary water tanks in several areas,” it added.
