For exactly 12 days our household endured a water supply shortage along with the other affected Quezon City barangays that are in concession of Maynilad Water Services. It was such an ordeal fetching and storing as much water as we could from my parents’ house in Makati then transporting them to our house in Batasan, I can’t believe that we actually managed as well as we did. It’s a blessing that the drinking water refilling station did not run out, otherwise we would have to worry about our drinking water supply. Something like this certainly makes you realize how valuable water is, and to appreciate it when you have a good supply. I am glad we did not have to rely on the water that was being brought in by truck to use during the rationing, as some of it looked a bit murky and I was also wondering about how safe it was for drinking. While friends said it had to be safe or it wouldn’t be provided, I still was not sure. Also I read that in the U.S. that while their tap drinking water maybe seen as legally acceptable, it still may not be healthy to drink. So I thought you just never know, and I did not feel at all confident that this murky water was safe water for my family to drink. Lately I have read about some really effective water filter pitchers that remove almost all of the contaminants in drinking water. I got a lot of useful information at www.friendsofwater.com and they also had the test results of what they had decided was one of the best water pitchers currently available on the market. I read reviews that this is, by far, one of the best quality water filter pitchers. Their filters utilize a superior type of filtration material that can remove fluoride and can even filter viruses and bacteria. This just seems like such an easy and inexpensive way to ensure that you have safe, potable drinking water anytime. Such a small price to pay for such a valuable thing, pure and clear drinking water. I’m so glad that this whole water ordeal is over. I hope that the government will address this issue immediately so it won’t happen again in the future.
