00:00 According to Metro Manila and Cavite,
00:03 the supply of water to some areas will be cut
00:06 due to the temporary closure of a water treatment plant.
00:10 This is the news of Dano Tingcunco.
00:12 More customers will be able to sit next to the laundry shop
00:18 and water refilling station in Talon 5, Las Piñas
00:20 before the water interruption in the area.
00:23 We will fish, if we can, in the tank.
00:27 That's all we can give to the customers.
00:29 If we run out of water, we can't do anything.
00:32 If there's no water, expenses will not stop.
00:36 Our workers will pay for it.
00:39 But there's no effect on us.
00:45 Only a limited number of laundry shops can do it.
00:48 We will stop, except if we order a water tank.
00:53 Aside from Talon 5, there are other places in Las Piñas,
00:56 Montinlupa, Paranaque, Pasay and Baco or Cavite
00:59 where the water will be cut off for 7 to 24 hours.
01:03 Due to the temporary closure of the Poblacion Water Treatment Plant
01:07 as a transition to the supply of 150 million liters of water,
01:13 which is triple the current supply.
01:15 We need to do a plant shutdown
01:17 to complete all the work inside the plant.
01:19 Water tankers will be deployed.
01:22 A new modular water treatment plant in Putatan, Montinlupa
01:27 will produce 20 million liters of water
01:28 that can clean water from Laguna Lake.
01:30 The volume of water we used to supply from Angat to Cavite
01:35 will not be pushed anymore.
01:37 The water from Laguna Lake will help us.
01:41 In effect, the requirement will be reduced.
01:44 If there's a shortage of water from Angat,
01:48 we will still be able to fill it.
01:50 That's a big thing, especially since MWSS said
01:53 that the water pressure from Angat Dam can be reduced
01:56 now that it's hot.
01:58 In a normal situation, the pressure of water
02:01 can reach the second floor.
02:04 But in our strategy, the pressure will be reduced
02:08 to the first floor only.
02:10 According to Task Force El Nino,
02:12 there are deep wells that are in the way
02:14 if the water supply in Metro Manila is completely cut off.
02:18 There are actually 137 deep wells on standby
02:23 if the water pressure drops
02:25 or if the water supply is not enough in the coming months.
