PRESS RELEASE

MWSS RO EXTENDS SUSPENSION OF SERVICE DISCONNECTION ACTIVITIES UNTIL END OF MECQ

This is to inform the public that the MWSS Regulatory Office (RO) has directed Manila Water Company, Inc. and Maynilad Water Services, Inc., to extend their suspension of all service disconnection activities (whether temporary or permanent) until such time that the Modified Enhanced Community Quarantine (MECQ) has been lifted, and to provide an uninterrupted 24-hour water supply in their Service Areas. This is to ensure that all customers receive clean and adequate water supply for their health and sanitation requirements, especially during this difficult time of pandemic.

Moreover, the MWSS RO requests for the continued cooperation and assistance of concerned Local Government Units (LGUs), as the Concessionaires conduct their meter reading and billing activities during the period of MECQ.
