Water services in some parts of Muntinlupa, Las Piñas, Parañaque, and Cavite have been temporarily interrupted after Maynilad Water Sevices Inc. temporarily shut down its Putatan Water Treatment Plant (PWTP) in Muntinlupa City, Wednesday.

According to a post by Maynilad on its official Facebook page, the shutdown is necessary so that PWTP can be interconnected to the new water treatment facility that Maynilad is currently constructing in the same area.
"The interconnection of the two facilities is an essential step toward full completion of the new treatment plant that will enable Maynilad to improve water services for its customers in the southern portion of the West Zone concession," Maynilad wrote.
"As a result of this activity, some Maynilad customers in parts of Las Piñas, Muntinlupa, Parañaque, and Cavite will have low pressure to no water supply starting 11 a.m. of June 6, 2018 (Wednesday) to 5 a.m. of June 8, 2018 (Friday)."
