“Dahil dito, ang mga lugar na dapat ay makakaranas ng extended service interruption hanggang bukas ay magkakaroon na ng tubig ngayong araw, ayon sa kanilang original na schedule,” it added.
Customers were advised to let the water flow from their end to flush out any impurities or until they have clear water flowing from their faucets.
Maynilad also said that the low pressure to no water supply experienced in the portions of Brgys.
