Maynilad Water Services, Inc. said Tuesday that around 35,000 customers whose homes were severely flooded during the recent onslaught of Tropical Storm Paeng will receive a rebate of around P50 in their December 2022 water bill.
Maynilad is releasing P1.7-million assistance to cover for the average cost of the 2-cubic meter consumption of these customers in portions of Muntinlupa and Pasay in Metro Manila; and Bacoor, Imus, Kawit, and Noveleta in Cavite Province.
The rebate will offset the cost of the water that these customers consumed for their clean-up activities after their homes were inundated by flood.
“We hope that this assistance, however small, will be of some help to our customers as they recover and rebuild their homes that were affected by floods at the height of Typhoon Paeng,” Maynilad president and chief executive Ramoncito Fernandez said.
Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System – Regulatory Office chief regulator lawyer Patrick Lester Ty commended Maynilad’s move to grant a rebate.
“We welcome the initiative of Maynilad to assist typhoon-stricken families in their time of need,” he said.
Maynilad provides water and wastewater services to 17 cities and municipalities that comprise the West Zone of the Greater Metro Manila area.
It is the private concessionaire of the MWSS for the West Zone and is managed by Maynilad Water Holdings Company, Inc. —a joint venture between Metro Pacific Investments Corp., DMCI Holdings, Inc. and Marubeni Corp.
