West Zone concessionaire Maynilad Water Services Inc. (Maynilad) has joined nationwide efforts to bring immediate relief to the victims of Super Typhoon Carina by distributing bottled water and deploying mobile water tankers to the hardest-hit areas in Metro Manila.

An initial 26,000 pieces of bottled water and 600 pieces of 6-liter water jugs were brought to relief centers in Quezon City, Manila, Navotas, Malabon, and Valenzuela.

Maynilad, likewise, provided 5-gallon water jugs to the local government of Muntinlupa to support local relief efforts. In addition, two 10-cu.m. water tankers are currently being deployed to the Baseco Evacuation Center in Manila and the Muntinlupa Evacuation Center to address the urgent requirement for potable water and ensure its sustainable supply for the evacuees.

Maynilad also took proactive steps to ensure delivery of water to hospitals so that these medical facilities can sustain operations despite severe flooding.
