Metro Manila residents will face another water crisis in 2011. If this is the case, I hope proper authorities will deal with the impending problem before it happens and get millions of people affected.

Personally, I can live without electricity for a couple of days, but not without water running down the faucet. The family of my brother-in-law and ours used to own an electric water pump. We sold the electric pump when finally got a direct connection to Maynilad Water Services.

With the looming water problem, areas who are most likely to get affected can share engine driven pumps so they will have ample water supply until the water crisis is solved.
