Maynilad Water Services scheduled water service interruption in parts of Metro Manila and Cavite from Saturday to Sunday, 8 June, due to ongoing repairs on a damaged major pipeline in Tondo, Manila.

The affected pipeline, measuring 2.2 meters in diameter, was reportedly damaged by a third-party contractor involved in the construction of the New Pritil Market along Nicolas Zamora Street.

The service interruption started 2 p.m. on Saturday and is expected to last until 10 a.m. Sunday.

Affected areas in Metro Manila include portions of Manila, Pasay City, Parañaque City and Las Piñas City.

In Cavite, residents in Bacoor City, Cavite City, Imus City, Kawit, Rosario and Noveleta will also experience service disruptions.

Maynilad advised customers to store enough water and to expect temporary discoloration in the water supply once service resumes.

The utility said it will issue an updated advisory if repairs take longer than scheduled.
