East zone concessionaire Manila Water said it continues to advocate for regular septic tank desludging as one of the simplest ways to protect the environment and personal property.
Desludging helps prolong the life of the septic system at home as it prevents blockages that can cause damage and daeterioration of septic tanks, it said.
It said that on a broader scale, septic tank siphoning supports the protection of the environment and biodiversity through proper septage treatment.
Desludging can also prevent pollutants from getting into water sources such as surface and ground water.
Manila Water said its desludging caravan would visit Barangay 795, 803, 804 and 813 in the City of Manila; Pasong Tamo and Alicia in Quezon City; Daang Bakal and Highway Hills in Mandaluyong City; and Caniogan in Pasig City in January 2025.
The desludging trucks will also be present in Barangay Balite, San Rafael, San Isidro and San Jose in Montalban; and Mayamot in Antipolo City in Rizal.
“We encourage our customers to start the year right by availing the desludging services provided by Manila Water at no additional cost. Customers may call the Manila Water Customer Service Hotline 1627 or coordinate with barangay officials to know the schedule of desludging in their respective barangays,” said Manila Water communication affairs group director Jeric Sevilla.
