EAST ZONE concessionaire Manila Water Co., Inc. said on Wednesday that it has conducted an emergency leak repair along Bonifacio Avenue, Brgy. Poblacion, Mandaluyong City, affecting over 12,000 households.

In an advisory, the company said that the repair will be completed at 7 p.m.

Among the affected barangays are Poblacion, Plainview, New Zaniga, San Jose, Old Zaniga, Namayan, and Pag-Asa.

According to the company, the actual cause of the breakage is still being confirmed.

“Water tankers are being deployed to affected areas to augment water supply while the repair is being completed,” Manila Water said.

Upon completion of the repair, the water utility advised customers to allow a few minutes for flushing before using the water from their taps as discoloration may occur.

Manila Water serves the east zone of Metro Manila, covering parts of Marikina, Pasig, Makati, Taguig, Pateros, Mandaluyong, San Juan, portions of Quezon City and Manila, and several towns in Rizal province. — Sheldeen Joy Talavera
