In support of the Manila Bay rehabilitation program of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, west zone Maynilad Water Services Inc. has intensified its sewer connection and septic tank cleaning drive.
From January 2019 to August this year, Maynilad connected over 32,000 additional customers to its sewerage system, including households and establishments located along waterways that drain into Manila Bay.
The water firm was able to convince more customers to connect to the sewer network.
Also for the same period, Maynilad provided septic tank cleaning services to some 1.6 million customers from North Caloocan down to Cavite.
Around 317,000 cubic meters of sewage had been collected and treated by the company since the start of 2019.
“As we continue to implement our sewerage and sanitation services under ‘new normal’ conditions, we appeal to our customers to connect to our sewer lines or have their septic tanks desludged. Doing so will help protect our environment, as well as the health of our families and communities,” chief operating officer Randolph Estrellado said.
Maynilad is encouraging its customers in sewered areas to apply for a sewer connection so their wastewater could be conveyed directly to the sewage treatment plants.
