The campaign wants to avoid a repeat of the 2019 crisis, where thousands of Metro Manila residents suffered from water shortage.
MANILA, Philippines – If a government office with millions worth of water bill halved its consumption, thousands of households in Metro Manila will have water.
David did a rough estimate during a press briefing on Tuesday, Julu 11. Just halving the consumption of government offices would already be a big help to secure the water supply of many Metro Manila households and families, he said. The Water Resources Management Office under the Department of Environment and Natural Resources recently released two bulletins, enumerating guidelines for government offices as well as barangay officials and residents to conserve water.
But it’s not just huge government offices that waste water because of leaks, David said. Some barangay halls that have few staff members have water bills that exceed P100,000. Together with the Metropolitan Water and Sewerage System, the WRMO will track the monthly water bills of government offices. A non-compliant office will be given a notice on excessive use of water.Gearing up for water crisis
