Expect more areas in Metro Manila to go dry starting Thursday afternoon as Manila Water Co. Inc. implements a new scheme in the entire east zone concession area that will allow it to better manage its dwindling water supply. ADVERTISEMENT“Under the new scheme, water service interruptions will no longer be concentrated in certain areas but all of the east zone,” Galang added. When Manila Water first issued a public advisory about the supply situation on March 4, its management scheme covered only parts of Metro Manila and certain areas in Rizal province. These included Marikina, Pasig, Quezon City and Taguig in Metro Manila in addition to the Rizal towns of Antipolo, San Mateo, Rodriguez, Taytay and Jalajala. Manila Water is building the Rizal Province Water Improvement Project in Cardona town as part of its efforts to meet rising demand.
