The Zamboanga City Water District (ZCWD) has recorded a notable decline in its daily water production capacity, necessitating extended water rationing hours across the east, west, and central zones of the city. The affected barangays, including Campo Islam, San Jose Gusu, Calarian, Sinunuc, Maasin, Cawit, Tulungatung, Arena Blanco, Mampang, Talon Talon, Kasanyangan, Sta. Maria, Cabatangan, Cabaluay, and Malagutay, have benefited from the city government's water delivery initiatives.
Dannilyn, a resident of Barangay Talon-Talon grappling with water rationing, shared her frustrations regarding the limited water availability in their area. She expressed her dismay at the situation, highlighting the challenges they face, such as receiving water supply only once every four days. “Mahirap talaga kasi mahaba ang pila sa pag-igib ng tubig lalo na kapag tirik ang araw dahil sa mainit na panahon,” she said.
