The National Water Resources Board (NWRB) had already decreased its allocation for its concessionaires from 46 cubic meters per second to 40 cubic meters per second.
This is in preparation for the expected Low-Level Outlet as Angat Dam nears its critical lever of 160 meters.
As of 6 a.m., Tuesday, June 18, the water level in Angat Dam was recorded at 161.78 meters.
Because of this, the supply of water sent to the Manila Water’s treatment plant is affected, its advisory said,
Manila Water provides service to parts of Metro Manila and Rizal. These are in Makati, Mandaluyong, Pasig, Pateros, San Juan, Taguig, Marikina, most parts of Quezon City, San Andres and Sta. Ana in Manila.
