Mayor Eric Olivarez ordered the inspections to ensure the pumps are functioning efficiently and to identify and address any issues that may arise, guaranteeing continuous water pressure and proper flow during emergencies.
Olivarez said that monitoring of the two booster pumps at Gatchalina Phase 2C in Barangay San Dionisio and San Felipe SAV 15 in Barangay San Isidro started on Wednesday evening, October 23. He added that it is a 24-hour monitoring effort.
According to him, monitoring the pumps is essential during typhoons, as they play a vital role in preventing flooding and supporting the city’s disaster response efforts.
