Meanwhile, another water service provider Maynilad said the areas of Las Piñas, Muntinlupa, Parañaque and Bacoor, Cavite would also experience water interruption as it temporarily shuts down Putatan Water Treatment Plant on Sunday. The shutdown will pave way for the upgrade of pumps in preparation for the activation of its newly constructed treatment facility, also located in Barangay Putatan, Muntinlupa City.
“This project is part of the company’s continuous effort to improve water services in the West Zone,” Maynilad said in its service improvement advisory.
