From an ex Maynilad engineer:
"Hmm.. I am an ex-Maynilad engineer who worked in the water operations side of the business. Pero wala nako dun ngayon syempre ahhahahaa
It is indeed true that in the event of water crisis, drought, interruptions etc. all water supply configurations will be done just to avoid impacts to subdivisions like Ayala Alabang Village
It’s so unfair to see that about 90% of the customers will suffer no pressure to no water situations while these rich people in their subdivisions are enjoying exclusive treatments.
Take note also that in the concession agreement (contract between government and Manila Water/Maynilad), they are required to provide a minimum pressure of 7 psi (24/7) and 16 psi for most period. More pressure means reliable supply, “malakas” na agos in layman’s term. In these subdivision, 16 psi is not enough, some cases they would cater 50 psi of pressure on their household and since Maynilad is struggling with its operation, it will end up compromising other regions to cater for these oligarchs.
One big truth about these bullshit water concessionaires is that Ayala Alabamg village is situated within the supply region of Putatan Water Treatment Plant which extracts water from Laguna Lake. However, the rich people of Ayala Alabang Village and the likes demanded MVP that they don’t want to have their supply from Putatan and demanded that the water supply should be in La Mesa dam. This has led to Maynilad re-configuring their supply network just to cater for these oligarchs. In the end, of all these VIP treatments, who pays all their requests??? Tayo. Us. Through Tariff charges.
In short, the general public is the one paying for all the VIP treatments that the so called VIPs are getting. O di ba."
