00:00There's no entrance, but there's also no water.
00:03That's the problem of some Manila customers in Cavite and Metro Manila
00:07who were affected by water service interruption this long on this weekend.
00:11Water concessionaire explained that maintenance needs to be prepared
00:15for the expected high turbidity in the coming season.
00:18Here's the news from Mackie Pulido.
00:23There are a lot of vacations, but in some parts of Bacoor,
00:26like Iquimus, Paranaque, Pasay, Muntinlupa, and Las Piñas,
00:29Manila customers will lose their water supply
00:32from November 1 to November 2.
00:34The water interruption in the barangays lasted for 6 to 24 hours.
00:38It was listed on the social media page of Manila.
00:43But Ms. Desi is still worried
00:45about one of the 270,000 water service connections that will be affected.
00:50It's a bit annoying because we're saving water again.
00:54We're saving water, but we don't have a drum.
00:57We're saving water, but we don't have a drum.
01:00According to Manila, they will temporarily close
01:02their Putatan and Poblacion Water Treatment Plant
01:05for maintenance work.
01:07We need to prepare our plants
01:09for the expected high turbidity during the upcoming season
01:14that will happen in Laguna Lake.
01:16We need to prepare.
01:18Ms. Desi said that the water bill doubled
01:21after the water service interruption.
01:23Aside from saving water,
01:26when it's time to return,
01:27the faucet needs to be opened until the water flows through.
01:31The water that comes out in the early hours
01:34will be thrown away and we won't be able to use it.
01:36Don't throw it away, said Manila.
01:39It can still be used for other things.
01:41We have flushing activities
01:43to reduce discoloration.
01:46It's just a case that it can still reach the customers.
01:49We're giving prior warning to expect that.
01:52So that the water won't be wasted,
01:55they will throw it away.
01:57Julie is nervous that her position
01:59in the water service interruption is affected
02:01because they are close to one of the affected barangays.
02:04She will be forced to stop selling refrigerators
02:07even though she expects a lot of sales
02:09because there is a nearby cemetery in her position.
02:12There are no incoming students.
02:14Not all of them went to the province.
02:16There are a lot of people here.
02:17There's a cemetery there.
02:18So they're just here.
02:20What a waste.
02:21This is the first news.
