Adequate water supply for NCR this year: CabSec

By Prince Golez

The supply of water for Metro Manila will be “sufficient” this summer, according to Cabinet Secretary Karlo Nograles.

On Thursday, Nograles said the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS) assured during the Cabinet meeting last night that water shortage won’t be a problem in the National Capital Region (NCR) this year.

“According to the MWSS chair and OIC Administrator Reynaldo Velasco, we expect to have a sufficient supply of water this year in Metro Manila. Wala ho tayong water shortage dito sa Maynila,”

“Be that as it may, the MWSS is taking steps to ensure that we have an adequate supply of water this summer,”

Nograles said the MWSS is also working to fast-track several projects that will address the water requirements of NCR in the long run.

The projects include Kaliwa Dam Project, Upper Kaliwa and Kanan rivers, East Bay Water Supply Project (Phase 1 and 2), and the Calawis-Wawa water supply project (Phase 1 and 2).
