00:00 The water supply could be a problem in the next year, especially with El Niño,

00:05 according to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources.

00:09 But MWSS and Water Concessionaires see something different.

00:14 Cedric Castillo was there.

00:16 Every summer, Ms. Consuelo will not go down to bathe five times.

00:25 But now, the wind is cold.

00:28 I bathe in the morning.

00:30 It's really full.

00:31 Then when it comes to the night, it's just long.

00:34 The head is not included, just to get rid of the body's stickiness.

00:37 I carry my big bucket.

00:40 Then I will put the water of the bucket in gallons of mineral water to pour it in the bathroom.

00:47 It's a waste.

00:49 But if the DENR is expecting that the water supply could be a problem in the next year,

00:57 if the public does not save while the El Niño phenomenon is spreading,

01:02 MWSS does not see a crisis in the water.

01:07 We have been preparing for this for a year.

01:10 We have accumulated this year, and it has reached above our target elevation of 212 meters.

01:16 So, meaning, we will be compatible with the disonset of El Niño.

01:21 For now, the water level in Angat Reservoir is at 214 meters.

01:27 According to MWSS, based on the projection of Angat Technical Working Group,

01:32 the water level in Angat will be below the normal operating level of 180 meters in the El Niño.

01:39 It is expected that it will rise again when June comes, based on the forecast of the forecast.

01:45 But it is also expected that the El Niño will not be prolonged.

01:51 We can see that by June, the conditions are already enzo-neutral.

01:56 Meaning, El Niño will be gone.

01:59 And we said that the possible peak effect of El Niño will be around April.

02:05 We will not prolong the onset of the rainy season, and it will not come.

02:13 Or, even if the rain comes, there will be what is called monsoon break.

02:18 In 2019, when there was a crisis in water, the water level in Angat Reservoir rose.

02:26 Supply from Angat Dam was needed to reduce the water supply to the households.

02:33 In case the El Niño will be prolonged and extend,

02:39 MWSS has already made a decision to avoid a crisis in 2019.

02:45 For now, we have already made augmentation measures, additional water treatment plants,

02:50 deep wells, and reductions in non-revenue water.

02:54 The reduction in the allocation from Angat Dam can be sustained.

03:00 MWSS was also supported by water concessionaires.

03:05 Facilities are already prepared that can provide additional water supply.

03:10 In case the supply needs to be reduced from Angat Dam.

03:15 Last week, we inaugurated our third plant in Laguna Lake, the Poblacion Water Treatment Plant,

03:22 where the first 50 million liters per day or 50 MLD is available this month of December.

03:31 It will have a full swing to 150 MLD by the first quarter of 2024.

03:37 We have also intensified our lake repair activities so that our non-revenue water or the system losses,

03:46 we will reach 13 to 14 percent.

03:51 For GMA Integrated News, Cedric Castillo, Nakatutok, 24 Hours.
