Metro’s clean water supply at risk as Laguna Lake status worsens
Industry stakeholders warned that Metro Manila’s clean water supply may be in peril if the deteriorating water quality of Laguna Lake, the country’s largest lake and a major source of potable water, worsens. West Zone concessionaire Maynilad Water Services, Inc., which sources at least 300 million liters per day from the lake, said Tuesday it has laid out interventions to help prevent the situation from worsening that may trigger water interruption. Among others, Maynilad had installed ultrasonic algae control equipment and upgraded its silt curtain. However, despite the efforts, the water company admitted that the prolonged high turbidity in Laguna Lake makes it harder for treatment plants to process water before supplying it to the customers. “Laguna Lake has become shallow to as low as two meters due to siltation that strong gusts of wind can easily stir up sediments in the lake bed — making the raw water highly turbid,” it explained. Maynilad began tapping Laguna Lake as an alternate source of raw water in 2010. It is currently in the process of constructing its third treatment facility, which will be completed by the end of the year. Based on the latest data from the state-run Laguna Lake Development Authority, there is currently a high concentration of blue-green algae in the lake — a form of bacteria that adversely affects both water quality and the filtration system in the lake. Although algae are fish food, the LLDA warned that the buildup can also cause fish kills. To date, around 80 percent of bangus and tilapia supply in Metro Manila comes from Laguna Lake. Thus, the LLDA, for its part, said it deployed more than a hundred solar-powered paddle wheels to prevent the growth of the algae. Separately, Muntinlupa Mayor Ruffy Biazon on Tuesday pointed out that it is imperative to protect the lake from pollutants to keep its quality stable and avert any water interruption that the poor water quality may cause. “For Laguna Lake to become a truly viable source of drinking water, it has to be protected. It is important to develop and implement programs and projects for the lake to ensure that its water quality is maintained at standards intended for its use,” Biazon said. “And with climate change and rapid urbanization putting undue stress on existing raw water sources, additional sources must be developed,” he added. To recall, Biazon, when he was part of the 18th Congress, filed House Bill 737 to call for the enhanced protection of Laguna Lake, given its deteriorating quality and increasing use as a drinking water source.
