WATER SUPPLY
Generally, the city is supplied by the Manila Water Company Inc. Water
is then distributed through pipelines of different materials (RC, Steel, Cast Iron, Asbestos
and PVC) with diameters ranging from 50mm to 2,200 mm. Main distribution pipes in the
city measure about 300 to 500 mm diameters. Although the water from the main
distribution system is maintained safe for drinking, more and more households are
getting cautious so as to use this water mostly for laundry and bathing purposes only.
Drinking water is more often bought from water filter and refilling stations and this is
evidenced by proliferation of such stations along both major and interior roads in the city.
MWCI, on the other hand, reports that status of water service connection in
Mandaluyong is now 98%. The Sanitation Division of the City Health Office conducts
regular monitoring of water sources on various places such as schools and restaurants,
as well as all water refilling stations operating within the city.

DRAINAGE

Drainage here at Barangay Hulo are located at the lowest part of the
barangay. Open Canal has the lowest part and it is connected in the Pasig River. Where
it serves at catch basin of rain waters from high land areas at the barangay and dispose
the collected waters to the river. The problem is, because it catches all the waters from
the high lands, plastics and other trash are also flooded away by the waters causing
clogged areas of the drainage. Flood will be a problem for our barangay if its not
prevented.
Pasig River serves as the main outlet of Laguna Lake, Marikina and San
Juan Rivers, and other small tributaries. Siltation, sunken derelicts, and other matters
thrown into the river considerably lessen its carrying capacity causing it to overflow
especially on heavy rains and stormy weather. The same goes with creeks which serve
as sewer and garbage dumps to those illegally occupying its shoreline.

POWER SUPPLY
Power services in the barangay are provided by the MERALCO through six (6)
115 KV sub-transmission systems: the Mandaluyong substation and SM-Shangrila
Substation, both located within the city; and the Pandacan, Rockwell, Sta. Ana and Meralco
Substations. Electricity is distributed to the users through 34.5 KV Distribution System and
6.24 KV Distribution System.
The households use electricity as source of lighting although illegal connection cannot be
disregarded, such discrepancy can be partially justified by the 2000 NSO Census on
Population which shows that some households actually dwell within commercial
establishments and industrial compound.
Still illegal connections remain a major concern not only in its economic aspect
but also in the environmental aspect as probable fire hazards and causes of accidental
electrocution. In addition, modernization of street lighting facilities is proposed to improve
visibility of roads at night and at the same time replace existing dilapidated facilities.

WASTE DISPOSAL
The Barangays actual collection and transport to the disposal site are
undertaken by LGU-hired private contractors utilizing 4 dump tracks. Garbage collection along
major thoroughfares, as well as market places are done daily, and that other residential areas are
visited only twice a week for their trash. Meanwhile, with the worsening problem in waste
disposal, the city government has called upon its constituents to practice waste segregation and
recycling. The Barangay are required to strictly implement waste segregation, with segregation
bins positioned in places visible to the public. With the sincere intention to help save the
environment through waste management, two barangays immediately took the initiatives of
implementing their own waste management schemes that later on earned them various
recognitions at both local and national levels. Community waste are collected by local manpower
roaming around with push carts each morning, later dumping the wastes into a designated area
within the motorpool. By arrangement with the contractor, wastes are then carried off by the
garbage trucks to the sanitary landfill.

TRANSPORTATION
Being an inland city and generally flat but for a few gentle slopes, internal circulation
is land-based utilizing different modes of transportation such as public utility
jeepneys, tricycles and pedicabs, private cars and the rail transit system.
Jeepneys and tricycles are dominants form of transportation through out the
barangay. Terminals of Jeepney and Tricycle are at almost every corner of the
streets.
