Davao City Water District advises the public of a water service interruption on March 20, 2025 from 12:01 AM to 8:00 AM affecting the entire areas served by Binugao-Sirawan Water Supply System (WSS).
Specific affected areas to experience low water pressure to no water are the entire Binugao and Sirawan and portion of Toril, specifically, Apla Village, Babisa Village, Bangoy Compound, Dacudao Tambakan, Davao Fish Port Complex, Doña Rosa Subd., Gutierrez Village, Inland Subd., Kalambuan sa Katawhan HOA, Kasama Village, Kristina Homes II, Lizada Beach, Samantha Homes, Sitio Tambakan, and Villa Grande Heights Subd.
DCWD’s Binugao Production Well No. 1 will be affected by Davao Light and Power Company’s (DLPC) power interruption on the said date which is needed to facilitate the preventive maintenance servicing of DLPC’s Puan Switching Station. Although the power cuts are shorter in duration, DCWD needs additional time for re-switching on of the affected facility, pressure build-up, and line delivery, thus the longer duration of water service interruption.
The DCWD management asks for the understanding and cooperation of would-be-affected customers and advises them to store enough water prior to the schedule. Water supply may be restored earlier if DLPC’s works go smoothly or later if unforeseen problems arise.
DCWD conducts flushing after service works are completed. However, once water is restored, customers are advised to open all faucets and allow water to run for at least two minutes. While doing this, do not drink tap water immediately. Water may be boiled as an additional safety precaution.
For the latest water service updates or any DCWD-related concerns, the general public may contact DCWD’s 24-hour call center telephone hotlines at 235-3293 and 244-6767, text support at 0927-798-
