Water service interruption in Biao Escuela, Matina Biao

THE DAVAO City Water District (DCWD) has advised a water service interruption on Aug, 14, Wednesday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., affecting some areas served by Riverside Water Supply System, particularly, the entire Biao Escuela and Matina Biao in Tugbok District.

DCWD needs to temporarily shut off water supply in the affected areas to give way to the tapping of a newly installed pipeline to DCWD’s existing pipeline along Biao Escuela Road. This tapping works is part of the pipeline expansion/ improvement project along Rose Street in Barangay Ula and from the junction of Purok 4 to Purok 3A in Barangay Matina Biao. Once completed, the project will allow the accommodation of additional service connections.

On behalf of the DCWD management, general manager Engr. Edwin Regalado has asked for the understanding and cooperation of would-be affected customers and advises them to store enough water prior to the schedule. Water supply may be restored earlier if work goes smoothly or later if unforeseen problems arise.

DCWD conducts line flushing after tapping works are completed. However, once water is restored, customers are advised to open all faucets and allow water to run for at least two minutes. Do not drink tap water

immediately but if needed, boil water beforehand as safety precaution.
