大都会供水和污水处理系统监管办公室（MWSS-RO）下令Maynilad水务公司因其水处理厂频繁停水而支付5428万比索的罚款。该办公室还要求向受影响的每个供水连接退还327.96比索，并将在2026年5月的账单中体现。
MWSS-RO昨日裁定，对Maynilad水务公司处以5428万比索罚款，原因是其Putatan水处理厂和Poblacion水处理厂供水区域出现服务中断。受影响地区包括拉斯皮尼亚斯市（Las Piñas）、文廷卢帕市（Muntinlupa）、帕拉纳克市（Parañaque）、伊姆斯市（Imus）和巴科奥尔市（Bacoor）。监管办公室表示，作为西部区域的特许经营商，该公司未能履行其向165,518名签约客户提供最低压力为每平方英寸七磅的持续供水义务。根据2026-06-CA号决议，MWSS-RO要求Maynilad在2026年5月前，将每个受影响供水连接327.96比索的补偿金额计入客户账单。此举旨在补偿受中断影响的客户。
