Water interruptions in Toril, Talomo areas

DAVAO City Water District advises the public of two separate sets of water service interruptions.

First set is on September 13, 2019 from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM in these Toril areas: Macleod, Macleod Street (from junction Davao-Cotabato Road to corner Daliao Street), St. Jude Village, and portion of Daliao Street (from junction Macleod Street to corner St. Jude Village).

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 for the mainline improvement at Macleod Street in Brgy. Daliao, Toril. Once completed, the project will allow for the accommodation of additional service connections.

Second set is from 8:00 PM of Saturday, September 14, 2019 until 1:00 AM of Sunday, September 15, 2019 affecting the entire Gulfview Subd. and Versari Village in Talomo. DCWD needs to temporarily shut off water supply in the affected areas to give way to the installation of a step test gate valve at Gulfview Subd. The project is among DCWD’s non-revenue water reduction strategies.

On behalf of the DCWD management, General Manager Edwin V. Regalado asks for the understanding and cooperation of would-be affected customers and advises them to store enough water prior to the schedules. Water supply may be restored earlier if works go smoothly or later if unforeseen problems arise.

DCWD conducts flushing after service 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.

The general public may visit DCWD website (www.davaowater.gov.ph) and official Facebook page (www.facebook.com/ davaowater) for the latest water service updates. They may also call the Central Information Unit / Call Center through the 24hour hotline 235-DCWD (3293) and press “4” on their phone dial for the latest daily water updates or contact 0927-7988966, 0925-5113293, and 0908-4410653 for any matters pertaining to DCWD services.
