Maynilad Water Services Inc. said around 167,500 lifeline accounts in the southern part of its concession area will receive a rebate in their water bills for May.
The company said lifeline customers who consume less than 10 cubic meters (cu.m.) per month that were severely affected by water service interruptions owing to the reduced production of the Putatan water treatment plants in Muntinlupa will benefit from the rebate.
Maynilad added the rebate totaling to P10.81 million will be equivalent to the cost of the unused portion of lifeline customers’ 10-cu.m. minimum consumption for the month of March 2023.
“This means that if these customers only consumed 1 cu.m. in March but had to pay the P136 minimum charge for 10 cu.m., they will be entitled to a rebate of 9 cu.m., or P121.98. Hence, the rebate amount will vary, depending on the customers’ actual March 2023 consumption below 10 cu.m.,” the company said in a statement over the weekend.
