(SPOT.ph) Summer is coming. So prepare yourselves for sun, sand—and a lack of water in Metro Manila, apparently. Daily water interruptions are slated for several cities in the Metro and in Cavite starting this March. Water levels in Ipo Dam continue to lower, announced Maynilad Water Services Inc. on Friday, February 28, which means that the concessionaire will be strictly implementing a daily rotational water service interruption.
Asahan ang mas mahigpit na pagpapatupad nito sa mga susunod na araw hangga't hindi tumataas ang water elevation sa Ipo Dam. (4/7)

Folks in certain areas of Cavite City, Bacoor, Noveleta, Imus City, Kawit, and Rosario in Cavite, as well as Bulacan, will also be affected.
"Depending on the actual daily supply situation at Ipo Dam, we will shorten the scheduled service interruption in affected areas. Thank you for your patience and understanding," said Maynilad Water Services Inc. according to a report by GMA News Online. No word yet on how long these interruptions will last, but with the hot summer months incoming, you may want to prepare yourselves for the worst.
