DAVAO CITY – Residents in the northwestern and northern villages of the city are advised to store water as the Davao City Water District scheduled water service interruptions starting Friday night until Sunday.
The DCWD said the first set of water interruption will take place at 9:00 pm Friday in Catalunan Grande area due to the repair of a so-called pressure regulating valve in Uraya, fronting Elenita Heights in Mintal.

The northern barangays Pampanga and Sasa will also experience either low water pressure to no water supply, while downtown and Matina areas will have no water for 24 hours starting 8:00 am of Saturday until 8:00 am on Sunday because of the tapping of the newly installed 1000mm diameter steel pipe to the existing 760 mm diameter and 600mm diameters cast iron pipe in Governor Generoso Bridge.

“The entire Ladislawa Garden Village I and II will also experience water interruption starting 8:00 pm Saturday until 2:00 AM on Sunday due to the installation of gate valves and bypass pipe for the District Metered Area at Ladislawa Village in Buhangin,” DCWD said.
The DCWD said the water interruptions will “improve water pressure in the city’s downtown and north areas served by Dumoy Water Supply System after the entire project is completed” and “will help reduce non-revenue water.”
It said water supply may be restored earlier “if work goes smoothly or later if unforeseen problems arise.” (davaotoday.com)
