The National Water Resources Board (NWRB) has increased the raw water allocation for household use of the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS) starting today (May 14).
From 46 cubic meters per second, equivalent to almost 3,975 million liters per day, water allocation will now be 48 cubic meters per second or 4,147 million liters per day until the end of May, according to NWRB Executive Director Sevillo David Jr.
He pointed out that the Board also considered in its decision the relatively high heat index this month that resulted in higher water demand of consumers in Metro Manila and adjacent provinces of Bulacan, Rizal and Cavite. Based on the monitoring of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration, the water level in Angat Dam had declined to 187.75 meters on Thursday from 187.99 meters last Wednesday.Typhoon “Ambo” is expected to traverse Luzon and may boost the dam’s water level.
