Manila Water has fully inspected and prepared its 33 reservoirs across the East Zone to ensure steady water service as strong El Niño brings dry conditions expected to last until mid-2027. The reservoirs hold a combined 557 million liters, helping store water and keep supply balanced amid rising demand and lower rainfall.
Key facilities include the N. Domingo, Balara, and Maguey reservoirs. They support water delivery from multiple sources, including Laguna Lake and the Wawa-Calawis system, with new treatment plants coming online to further boost supply. The company also keeps water losses below 15 percent to maximize available supply during the dry spell. “Every liter counts—we ask everyone to be #Waterwais and use water responsibly,” said Communications Affairs chief Dittie Galang. Customers are urged to fix household leaks, reuse water, and report public leaks to hotline 1627.
