Poe to suppliers: Ensure water this summer

Senator Grace Poe is calling on water concessionaires to implement supply contingency and augmentation plans during the summer months and coordinate with relevant agencies to ensure continuous water supply.

Poe, who chairs the Committee on Public Services, said this is to prevent the outbreak of heat-induced diseases, like heat stroke, due to a combination of water shortage and intense heat. She noted that waterless days also force households to resort to buying rationed water or getting it from available taps in the community.Drinking water from unsafe sources could also lead to illnesses like gastrointestinal problems.
