Located in Norzagaray, Bulacan, Angat Dam supplies 98 percent of the potable water in Metro Manila through the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System . It also powers a hydroelectric plant and irrigates about 28,000 hectares of farmland in the provinces of Bulacan and Pampanga.With the water line now below the minimum operating level, priority will be given to Metro Manila households over other uses, such as irrigation and power generation.
Water volume coming from Angat to MWSS is being reduced from 52 cubic meters per second —or about 4,177 million liters per day —to 48 CMS. Maynilad spokesperson Jennifer Rufo said the company would report next week on the specific impact of the reduced water allocation to its customers. Maynilad currently operates in 17 cities and municipalities across the west zone of the Greater Metro Manila area, serving at least 9.5 million customers.On the part of Manila Water, corporate communications head Jeric Sevilla explained that the company’s augmentation sources “are still sufficient to bridge supply deficit should allocation still be reduced.”
