DAVAO CITY, Philippines — Residents are encouraged to store water supply for Saturday, September 30, as Davao City Water District (DSWD) announced a 16-hour water interruption in major parts of the city.
To improve its services, some areas served by Line 1 of Dumoy Water Supply System will experience no water supply from 9:00am of September 30, Saturday to 1:00am of Sunday, October 1, said DCWD’s Facebook post.
DCWD needs to plug the existing 750mm diameter Mortar Lined Cement Coated Steel Pipe (MLCSP) and 600mm diameter MLCSP at Bankerohan Bridge. They also need to plug the existing 300mm diameter MLCSP to the newly installed 1000mm diameter ELECSP at Pichon Street corner Quirino here.
This will increase the water pressure in the affected areas.
The said maintenance process is also part of the Davao City Bulk Water Supply Project that aims to improve water supply in the city upon completion in 2019.
