随着厄尔尼诺现象对供水构成威胁，位于科尔多瓦镇的一家海水淡化厂已投入运营，为宿务大都会水务局（MCWD）提供额外水源。
这座由Island Mactan Cordova Corporation运营、耗资20亿比索的工厂旨在每天向宿务大都会水务局供应2000万升水。目前该工厂正处于测试阶段，相关互联设施正在协调中。
Vivant Water总裁Jess Anthony Garcia表示，该设施已准备就绪，且为期25年的合同现已生效。Vivant Corporation首席执行官Arlo Sarmiento指出，该项目的投产时间与严重厄尔尼诺现象的预测相吻合。
菲律宾大气地球物理和天文服务管理局（Pagasa）已发布警报，预计该现象将在6月至8月间形成，并持续到2027年初。宿务市官员也在评估深水井等其他水源。
