Gordon urges Manila Water to speed up upgrades of their system 282 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Mario CasayuranSenator Richard J. Gordon urged Saturday East Zone water concessionaire Manila Water to speed up upgrading its water collection and distribution system, as well as their search for other water sources as the current water shortage is affecting thousands of families in Metro Manila. Maynilad (the other water concessionaire) has water sources. Gordon also called on Maynilad and other water tanker owners to lend water tankers to Manila Water to speed up the delivery of water to residents affected by the water interruption implemented by the East Zone water concessionaire to ensure that their water supply could last until June since the water level in La Mesa Dam has dropped due to the effects of the El Nino phenomenon. He said he has deployed eight tankers to six hospitals namely the Rizal Medical Center, Quirino Memorial Medical Center, National Kidney and Transplant Institute, East Avenue Medical Center, National Center for Mental Health, and Mandaluyong City Medical Center.
