The move, however, will not mean water supply interruptions, assured the Department of Environment and Natural Resources . DENR Undersecretary Carlos Primo David said the allocation for the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System was reduced from 50 cubic meters per second to 49 cubic meters per second starting yesterday until the end of May.“Maliit siya in terms of the total volume.

The DENR had earlier issued water conservation bulletins.“Paghugas ng kotse gamit ang garden hose, pagdilig ng ating mga halaman at garden using our garden hose.
