THE National Water Resources Board (NWRB) will decide this week whether or not to raise raw water allocation from Angat Dam, Metro Manila’s main source of water supply. The decision will come out “within this week,” David said, adding there would also be raw water supply for irrigation in Bulacan and Pampanga. For January, the agency retained the allocation for the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS) at 40 m3 even if Angat Dam’s water level has slightly improved. As of Thursday, Angat’s water level was at 202.60 meters. Amid the improvement in Angat’s water level, the two concessionaires Manila Water Co. Inc. and Maynilad Water Services Inc. said their customers would continue to experience little to no water supply for an indefinite period of time.
