Document background
The Formal Letter On Water Shortage is a critical communication tool used in the Philippines when water supply issues require formal notification to stakeholders. This document type is particularly relevant during periods of drought, infrastructure maintenance, or unexpected supply disruptions. It is governed by Philippine legislation including the Water Code and National Water Crisis Act, requiring specific content and following strict regulatory guidelines. The letter typically includes situation analysis, impact assessment, mitigation measures, and detailed schedules of water service interruptions. It serves multiple purposes: regulatory compliance, public information, and operational coordination among water service providers, government agencies, and affected communities. This document type is essential for maintaining transparent communication and coordinated response during water shortage situations.
