+ January 12, 2021 IMPOUNDED water from the Malubog Dam in Toledo City is to be released after its water capacity came close to reaching critical levels due to heavy rains on Tuesday, Jan. 12, 2021.
To avoid any possible untoward incidents related to the releasing of the Malubog Dam’s impounded water, Toledo City officials also ordered an immediate evacuation of residents living near the dam’s downstream area.
Roseller Layan, Toledo City public information officer, said Carmen Copper Corp. (CCC) is set to activate its flood control systems installed at the dam in order to release water.
“We really need to release the water so it doesn’t overflow during heavy rains. We need to maintain it at the right level,” Layan told Superbalita Cebu on Jan. 12.
