THERE will be two water service interruptions in predominantly residential areas on December 28.

First set is low water pressure to no water on December 28 from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. which will be affecting some areas in Indangan, Cabantian, and Communal areas particularly in Nagkahiusa Village, San Isidro Indangan, Sto. Niño Village, Saint Ignatius, Nueva Esperanza Village, Indangan Relocation, Anita Homeowners Assn., Molave Homes, Adap Village, Millenium Village, Lemon Village, Madradeco Village, Villa Alevida, and Ramon Nena Village.

Also affected are areas included in the Schedule 2 of the rotational water schedule in Cabantian Water Supply System (WSS), specifically Ciudad de Esperanza, Aspen Heights, Blue Diamond Village, Catitipan Homeowners Assn., Deca Homes Subd., Emily Homes Subd., Chula Vista Subd., Emilia Homes Subd., Bacahoa Village, Dela Peña Village, Countryville Executive Homes, Cabantian Country Homes, Greenland Subd. Phases 1 and 2, Victors Executive Homes, Cecilia Heights Subd., Priscilla Estates, and Remedios Heights. To augment water supply, Davao City Water District (DCWD) will deliver water to these areas.

DCWD’s Indangan Production Well No. 1 and Cabantian Production Well No. 2 will be affected by Davao Light and Power Company’s power interruption on the same date as they will need to facilitate the upgrading of its primary lines along Cabantian Road, thus the water service interruption.

Areas under Schedule 1 of the rotational water supply in Cabantian WSS will still not have water as scheduled.

The Second set is from 9:00 p.m. of December 28, 2016 to 4:00 a.m. of December 29 which will affect areas served by DCWD from the junction of Malagamot–Davao-Agusan Road to Lasang including Luzville Subd., ILAIECO Compound, Brgy. Ilang, Upper Ilang, Amparo Village, Bugac Ilang, Brgy. Tibungco, Mangahan Village, Upper Mangahan, Cal Village, Vicente Gloria, Pena Village, Brgy. Bunawan, and Brgy. Lasang.

This water service interruption is needed for the tapping/looping of the newly installed 300mm diameter Cement Mortar Line Epoxy Coated Steel Pipe to the existing 400mm diameter Mortar Line Coated Steel Pipe at Davao-Agusan from Crossing Eliong to Buhisan. The improvement work is part of the Davao City Bulk Water Supply Project of DCWD which, upon completion, will improve water pressure and increase the availability of water supply in the city.

DCWD management asks for the understanding and cooperation of the customers who would be affected by the interruptions. They are also advised to store enough water prior to the scheduled water interruption.

Water supply may be restored earlier if work goes smoothly or later if unforeseen problems arise.
