Manila Water Company Inc. on Wednesday assured costumers in the east zone there will be enough supply for the dry months.

Manila Water spokesman and corporate communications head Jeric Sevilla Jr. said the Angat Dam’s water level was at 204 meters, higher by 6 meters than its level a year ago. Angat Dam in Bulacan is the main water source for Metro Manila and surrounding provinces.

“If we are going to use that as an indication, our outlook for the summer will be better,” Sevilla said at the sidelines of Water Philippines Conference at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City.

“We don’t see a tightness in supply or a shortage unless, we don’t actually know if the summer will be hotter or if the rains will come later. But if we go by the level of Angat compared to last year, this year is much better,” said Sevilla. 

Sevilla said the current allocation for Manila Water was 46 cubic meters per second.

“As of now, we’re okay. We are getting what is needed in the allotment for Manila Water,” Sevilla said.

Manila Water is the private concessionaire of Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System that provides water and used water services to the cities of Pasig, Marikina, Taguig, Makati, Mandaluyong, San Juan, Pateros, portions of Quezon City and Manila and Rizal province.

The company earlier said it planned to provide water services to industrial parks in Southeast Asian countries.

Manila Water said this would enable the company to double its earnings by 2020.
