DAVAO City Water District (DCWD) advised the public of low water pressure to no water on February 6, 2022 from 12:01 a.m. to 8 a.m., affecting some areas served by Dumoy Water Supply System (WSS) in Buhangin and Cabantian.
Affected are some Buhangin areas, specifically portions of Robinsons Highlands Subd. particularly Beverly Hills Street, Bread Subd., Carpio Subd., Panorama Homes Subd., Pioneer Village, and Manuel M. Garcia Road (from corner Cabantian Road to Panorama Homes) and some Cabantian areas, particularly Bacahoa Subd., Countryville Executive Homes, Dela Peña Subd., Emilia Homes Subd., Holy Trinity Subd., Victor’s Executive Homes, and portion of Cabantian Road (from Holy Trinity to Emilia Homes Subd.).
DCWD’s Panorama Booster Station will be affected by Davao Light and Power Company’s (DLPC) power interruptions on the said date, as it is needed to facilitate the pole erection near Buhangin Underpass.
Although the power cuts are shorter in duration, DCWD needs additional time for re-switching of the affected facility, pressure build-up, and line delivery, thus the longer duration of water service interruption, said the DCWD.
The DCWD management appealed for understanding and cooperation of customers who will be affected and advised them to store enough water prior to the schedule.
It said water supply may be restored earlier if DLPC’s work goes smoothly or later if unforeseen problems arise.
“DCWD conducts flushing after service works are completed. However, once water is restored, customers are advised to open all faucets and allow water to run for at least two minutes. Do not drink tap water immediately but if needed, boil water beforehand as a safety precaution,” it said.
