Enough water supply in Metro Manila assured

BY GENALYN KABILING

There won’t be any water shortage in Metro Manila this year.

Cabinet Secretary Karlo Nograles said Metro Manila residents can expect adequate supply of water this year as the government hastens the implementation of various infrastructure projects to address water requirements in the region.

The latest assurance came following President Duterte and the Cabinet’s discussion on the country’s infrastructure projects related to water security during a meeting in Malacañang Wednesday.

“Let me start by sharing some good news,” Nograles said during a televised press briefing Thursday, March 4.

“According to Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System Chairman and OIC Administrator Reynaldo Velasco, we expect to have a sufficient supply of water this year in Metro Manila. Wala ho tayong water shortage dito sa Maynila,” he said.

Nograles also assured Metro Manila residents that the MWSS continued to take measures “to ensure that we have an adequate supply of water this summer.” (Genalyn Kabiling)
