EFFICIENT WATER SUPPLY SERVICES TO HOSPITALS OR INSTITUTIONS (GOVERNMENT OR PRIVATE) PERFORMING FUNCTIONS RELATED TO THE MANAGEMENT/CONTROL OF COVID-19 DISEASE

In order to actively support the efforts of the government to effectively manage/control the spread of the COVID-19 disease, a sustained and efficient supply of safe water to hospitals or institutions (government or private) must be a primary concern of all water utilities/service providers.

1. Maintain and ensure sustained and efficient supply of safe water to all hospitals, or institutions, whether government-run or privately owned or managed, including makeshift structures/tents, especially those that are used for the treatment, or as quarantine/ holding area, for COVID-19 patients and/or health personnel, or workers.

2. Facilitate and immediately act on request for connection of water supply to all structures or facilities, whether permanent or otherwise, used in the fight against the COVID-19, giving due consideration to the essential need of safe water in the operation of such facilities.

For strict compliance.
