00:00 A week after the problem in Rizal, some residents are now spending yellow and stinky water from the river.

00:12 Manila Water explains it to us in the story of Mackie Pulido.

00:16 Yellow and stinky.

00:21 This is the water that is coming from the river that many customers of Manila Water in Angono, Binangonan and Cardona, Rizal

00:28 since Wednesday last week.

00:30 It's yellow, yellow.

00:32 It's like we have a canal, a canal.

00:34 It's like we have a canal, a land.

00:37 Jenny's daughter got injured in her arm due to excessive swimming

00:41 since using the stinky water.

00:44 I couldn't sleep because of the extreme swimming.

00:46 But Cassandra said that there's no choice but to swim.

00:50 It's hot when you're not able to swim.

00:52 That's why I'm just enduring it.

00:54 They are also worried about the expenses if they still use purified water for bathing.

00:59 For now, they are buying four gallons of purified water for drinking, cooking and washing food.

01:06 That's an additional 100 pesos every day since last week.

01:10 18,000 service connections are affected.

01:13 Even for small businesses like Jessica's, she's already worried about the additional expenses.

01:19 She's using 10 gallons of purified water every day for her business

01:24 instead of not using tap water.

01:27 I'm afraid that my business will be affected.

01:29 It's affecting us a lot.

01:31 That's why I hope that it will be like before.

01:36 Manila Water explained that algae or moss in Laguna Lake

01:40 that is collected by the water supply

01:42 due to the sudden rain after the extremely hot weather.

01:45 Cardona Water Treatment Plant did not allow it.

01:49 We have chemicals to treat and remove it.

01:53 But since the level of organisms is high,

01:58 we can't do it now.

02:00 We will gradually add more to our treatment process

02:04 until we address the quality that is produced by Cardona Treatment Plant.

02:11 Manila Water said that the water quality will gradually return to normal starting today.

02:16 It will start to rain as long as the water is supplied instead of Laguna Lake.

02:21 Manila Water also said that the water is past the parameters of the RIPO

02:25 even though it's yellow and it's smelly.

02:27 Maybe the reason why some residents are complaining is not because of the water.

02:30 It's above all the parameters that are set by our DOH,

02:36 the Philippine National Standards for Drinking Water.

02:39 But some customers said that they were charged for buying purified water.

02:44 It should be deducted from their bill.

02:46 If possible, we can't afford to buy that.

02:51 We can't afford that.

02:54 Manila Water said that it depends on the decision of the MWSS Regulatory Office.

03:00 MWSS is investigating this and it depends on the result

03:04 if the affected customers will receive a refund.

03:07 For GMA Integrated News, Mackie Polido, for Tutok Tlaloc, 24 hours.
