Maynilad notes decreasing water level in Angat, Ipo dams as El Niño persists

MANILA — Maynilad on Monday reported that water levels in the Angat and Ipo dams have fallen amid the El Niño-enhanced dry season.

Maynilad, which supplies water to the West Zone of the Greater Metro Manila Area, said Angat dam's water level is now 198.81 meters from 200.07 meters last week. It is however still above its minimum operating level of 180 meters.

Meanwhile, Ipo Dam is now at 99.82 meters below its maintaining level of 101 meters.

"Unti-unti nang bumababa ang lebel ng tubig sa Angat Dam dahil na rin walang pag-ulan sa nasabing mga dam nitong mga nakalipas na linggo. Kasabay nito ay mainit na panahon na nagre-resulta sa mas mataas na konsumo ng tubig," the water concessionaire said.

In the same statement, Maynilad said it has suspended the scheduled daily water service interruptions in some parts of Caloocan, Malabon, Manila, Navotas, Quezon City and Valenzuela until further notice.
