Biazon summons Maynilad executives anew over water interruptions in Muntinlupa

Title Muntinlupa Mayor Summons Maynilad Executives Over Recurring Water Interruptions

The Philippines continues to face challenges in providing reliable and sustainable water services. In response, Muntinlupa City Mayor Ruffy Biazon has taken a bold step by summoning Maynilad Water Services Inc.'s senior management over recurring water service interruptions affecting residents in the city.

In separate letters dated March 11, Biazon requested that Maynilad President and Chief Executive Officer Ramoncito Fernandez and Chief Operating Officer Christopher Lichauco attend a meeting with the local government to present a plan to address the issue. The letters highlighted concerns over Maynilad's failure to provide timely and adequate notice of service interruptions, leaving residents unprepared for the disruptions.

Unacceptable Service Disruptions

Biazon expressed frustration over Maynilad's lack of coordination with the city government, saying local officials are often left unaware of the situation on the ground. He also criticized the company's inability to properly inform customers about service interruptions in a timely and efficient manner.

It is lamentable that Maynilad is unable to provide adequate notice to its customers about service interruptions, Biazon said. The uncertainty of service restoration causes undue stress, inconvenience, and lost productivity.

A Call for Action

Biazon called on Maynilad to provide compensation to affected consumers, stating that at the very least, there should be a rebate to customers who have been deprived of the quality of service the company is obligated to deliver.

Impact on Residents

The recurring water interruptions have taken a toll on residents in Muntinlupa City. Despite Maynilad operating two water treatment plants drawing from Laguna de Bay, the disruptions persist. The company's deployment of water tankers for emergency distribution during outages has not been sufficient to support all subscribers, with Biazon stating that this measure has not had a significant impact.
