MANILA, Philippines (Updated 3:35 p.m.) — After the government received a surge of complaints on water supply and quality issues from the West Zone, concessionaire Maynilad Water Services, Inc. vowed to resume full water production not later than June 15. 

 

The Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System Regulatory Office (MWSS RO) made the statement on Friday, two days after it ordered Maynilad to explain why many customers were complaining about the "prolonged and recurring" water supply and quality issues in the West Zone, specifically in Muntinlupa, Las Piñas, Parañaque, and portions of Cavite. 

 

The regulator said it was alarmed at the complaints even if Maynilad has an allocation of over 2,400 million liters per day at its Novaliches portal and is working to solve the problems in its Putatan Water treatment plant.
