The National Water Resources Board on Tuesday assured water consumers of Metro Manila of sufficient water supply at Angat Dam, Bulacan even after the lockdown due to the coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) pandemic.
NWRB executive director Sevillo David said Angat Dam that supplies 97 percent of the metro's potable water has enough supply until May.
"With the current allocation of 46 cubic meters per second, there is sufficient supply until the end of the enhanced community quarantine and even until the month of May prior to the onset of the rainy season," he said.
Angat Dam's water level was recorded at 192.25 meters as of yesterday at 6 a.m.
David said such level was within the normal operating level of 180 meters.
"We could so note that current level is more than eight meters higher than last year 2019 at the same time," he said.
