Water service interruption In Catalunan Grande areas

THE DAVAO City Water District (DCWD) has advised an eight-hour water service interruption on Dec. 9, Monday, affecting parts of Barangay Catalunan Grande, Talomo District. Areas to be affected are the entire Alejandra National HOA, San Miguel HOA, Sitio Sto. Niño Ilihan, Sitio Sta. Martha, and San Miguel Street. The DCWD will temporarily shut off water supply in the affected areas starting 9 a.m. to give way to two tapping works on a newly installed pipeline to the DCWD’s existing pipeline along San Miguel Street. This is part of DCWD’s pipeline improvement project, from Sitio Ilihan Road to Luwalhati Subdivision, which will cater to additional service connections and improve water pressure and availability in the affected areas. Water supply may be restored earlier than the 5 p.m. target if work goes smoothly or later if unforeseen problems arise. DCWD General Manager Edwin Regalado is asking for the understanding and cooperation of would-be affected customers and advises them to store enough water prior to the schedule. 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. davao-water.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 24-hour hotline 235-DCWD (3293) and press “4” on their phone dial for the latest daily water updates or contact 0927-7988966, 09255113293, and 0908-4410653 for any matters pertaining to DCWD services.
