Several areas in Manila will experience a temporary water interruption from 9 p.m. on May 24 until 3 p.m. on May 25,  due to emergency repair works on a damaged water pipeline in Ermita.

In an advisory, Maynilad Water Services said the repair involves a 750-millimeter pipeline located at the corner of Antonio Villegas Street and Natividad Lopez Street.

The service disruption will affect numerous barangays across the city, including parts of Districts 1 to 6. Among the affected areas are Barangays 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 14, 16, 17, 18, 20, 25, 26, 28, 29, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 37, 38, 39, 42, 43, 45, 46, 47, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 62, 63, 64, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 77, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 85, 86, 87, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 109, 110, 111, 112, 116, 118, 119, 120, 121, 122, 123, and several others.
