00:00The water that comes out of GRIPOS in some places in Iloilo City is not enough.
00:05That's why many residents are hoping for a ration of water.
00:08Here's the first live news of Zen Kilantan Sasa of GMA Regional TV.
00:14Zen.
00:19Igan, some residents here in Iloilo City are struggling to save on water
00:25because their water supply is still low.
00:31In Barangay Aguinaldo La Paz,
00:34the line of residents who are getting water from a static tank is still long
00:38from the ration of water of Iloilo City LGU.
00:41This is because the water is still not enough
00:44that comes out of the GRIPOS of Metro Pacific Iloilo Water.
00:47Maybe it's because of the motor.
00:50It's not enough.
00:53You can't see it.
00:55You can't use it.
00:56You can't use it.
00:58The water is not enough.
01:00According to Barangay Kagawad Jaime,
01:02they requested 4,000 liters of water from LGU
01:06because they feel sorry for the residents affected by the low water supply.
01:10CAP requested that they should deliver twice
01:14so that they can sustain their water supply.
01:20If you go to the water, the salt is brown.
01:24Some businesses are still affected by this.
01:28Their income is low because they need to buy more water.
01:33It's not enough.
01:35We don't have enough water.
01:37We can't use it.
01:39MPIW explained that the water from their old pipes is dirty.
01:45According to them, the water distributor continues water tankering
01:49for three to four times in critical areas or end points of the line.
01:56There are injection points in the pipeline.
02:01The residents are not allowed to go near the water.
02:08Iloilo City Mayor Jerry Tranez ordered the MPIW
02:12to tighten the water supply schedule.
02:16My instruction is that they should check if there is a leak.
02:21They should check where the water is coming from and what they are doing.
02:31Since yesterday, MPIW has implemented a new water supply schedule
02:36in some service areas in Metro Iloilo.
02:38It is possible that the normal supply of consumers will return early
02:43because MPIW has announced that the maintenance activities
02:49of the bulk water supplier can be completed tomorrow, October 19.
