Maynilad: Parts of Manila, Pasay waterless on Wednesday

Parts of Manila and Pasay Cities may go waterless on Wednesday, water concessionaire Maynilad Water said Tuesday.

Mesa, Manila. Also, it said it will insert a valve on the 400-mm mainline along Central corner Labores Streets in Pandacan, Manila.
