THE water level at La Mesa Dam in Quezon City has risen, according to the state weather bureau Pagasa on Wednesday, August 28.
The report indicates that the water level in the dam has reached 80.16 meters.
Due to this, it is expected that the overflowing of La Mesa Dam will affect the low-lying areas along Tullahan River from Quezon City, including Fairview, Forest Hills Subdivision, Quirino Highway, Santa Quiteria, and San Bartolome.
Barangay Ligon, North Expressway, and La Huerta Subdivision in Valenzuela, as well as Malabon, are also affected.
“All the residents living in the aforementioned areas especially those near the river banks are advised to be alert for further increase of water level along Tullahan River,” the agency said.
It is worth noting that many areas in Metro Manila were flooded due to continuous heavy rains brought by the Southwest Monsoon.
Classes in schools and government offices in the National Capital Region are also suspended due to the inclement weather.
