The water level at the La Mesa Dam is near spilling level and expected to rise due to continous occasional rains brought about by the southwest monsoon or habagat, PAGASA reported.
As of 12:20 a.m. on Wednesday, the water level is recorded at 79.90 meters.
The weather bureau reported that excess flood water will overflow if the dam elevation reaches 80.15 meters.
“Water from La Mesa Dam may affect the low-lying areas along the Tullahan River from Quezon City (Fairvew, Forest Hills Subd., Quirino Highway, Sta. Quiteria, and San Bartolome), Valenzuela (Bgy. Ligon, North Expressway, La Huerta Subd.) and Malabon,” the weather burea reported.
All residents in the affected areas, especially those near the river banks are advised to take precautionary measures.
PAGASA will continue to monitor hydrological conditions at La Mesa Dam and provide updates to local government units. — BAP, GMA Integrated News
