In an interview on the same day, DCWD Deputy Spokesperson Jovana Cresta Duhaylungsod said in an interview on the Davao City Disaster Radio that if the draining of the pipes went well, it could hasten their work.
“Ang isa sa atoang ginabantayan karun kay ang draining, posible s’ya nga makapaspas o makapasayo sa trabaho nato onsite, we are looking at 1:00 p.m supposed to be once ma-drain na s’ya [transmission line], naay possibility nga posible nato mapasayo (The draining could hasten our work onsite. It could be as early as 1 p.m. (June 25)),” Duhaylungsod said.
Duhaylungsod said they have deployed several teams to hasten the draining works.
She also assured customers served by Dumoy WSS Line 2 that strategies were in place in case they go beyond their timeline.
“If dili nato ma-meet ang 1 p.m., within schedule pa man ta, and if ever man naa may mga challenges onsite with regards to the draining, naa man pud tay possible adjustments nga pagabuhaton (If we cannot [return water service] by 1 p.m., we are still within our schedule. If there are challenges on-site with regards to draining, we will implement some adjustments),” Duhaylungsod said.
Meanwhile, DCWD said the recovery of the normal water supply will be affected by the scheduled power interruption at the Talomo Pumping Station, which will affect the Dumoy WSS, on June 25 and 27. On June 25, 2022, there will be a power interruption from 3:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. while on June 27, 2022, it will be from 12:01 a.m. to 4:00 a.m.
