Recognizing the vital role of water in disaster response and recovery, Manila Water immediately implemented its emergency response programs during the onslaught of Super Typhoon Carina and the southwest monsoon.
Since yesterday (Wednesday, July 24), Manila Water has positioned thirty (30) water tankers in evacuation centers in Metro Manila and Rizal Province, serving over 40,000 displaced individuals. These water tankers address the water supply needs of the evacuees for drinking, bathing, and other hygiene-related activities.
The Company also deployed water tankers carrying “Class C” or treated wastewater, in coordination with local government units, for road clearing and cleaning of public facilities.
Each of Manila Water’s Service Area (SA) is also on heightened alert, focusing on the maintenance of sufficient water supply for rapid recovery of affected areas, and the restoration of water supply for areas with reported interruptions.
Manila Water Foundation (MWF), the social development arm of Manila Water, also activated Agapay: WASH in Emergencies, a disaster response and relief program that distributes drinking water and deploys water tankers or mobile treatment plants to areas affected by typhoons and disasters.
MWF has started deploying 3,000 units of 5-gallon potable drinking water to evacuation centers in Marikina City, Malabon City, Quezon City and San Juan City in Metro Manila, in the municipalities of Binangonan, and Angono in Rizal Province and other areas extremely affected by the heavy rains and flooding. MWF is also in close coordination with non-government organizations Ayala Foundation and Angat Buhay for the deployment of drinking water gallons for other hard-hit areas.
MWF is also urging the public to donate much-needed water for a family of 5 by scanning the MWF BPI QR Fundraising Account which can be found in their Facebook page facebook.com/manilawaterfoundation. With these donations, MWF hopes to bring potable water to more communities in need.
Customers with concerns or needs assistance about their water supply can coordinate with their respective Manila Water Territory Managers or Barangay representatives for immediate response or call the Manila Water Customer Service Hotline 1627.
