Villages of San Jose, San Miguel and Guzman-Jesena including JMI village in Mandurriao district will experience low water pressure between 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Other areas in Mandurriao to include Ana Ros Village, Villa Vista, JMF, JEM, WVRAP, and Sacred Heart Subdivisions, Imperial Homes V and VI and Landheights VI will experience low pressure from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. daily.
Molo and Arevalo districts will have low water pressures between 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
The MIWD said the scheduling is due to the critical drop in water level at its sources in the Maasin, Oton and San Miguel towns.
