Through its regular desludging program, Manila Water helps remove accumulated sludge from septic tanks before it can overflow, clog household plumbing systems, or seep into the environment.

Proper desludging also supports the effective operation of wastewater treatment facilities and helps reduce pollution in rivers, creeks, and other water bodies.

“Protecting water resources requires managing the entire water cycle, from source to tap and back to the environment. As we continue investing in projects that strengthen water supply reliability, we are equally committed to expanding access to sanitation services that help keep communities healthy and waterways clean,” said Dittie Galang, Manila Water Corporate Communications Group head.

Since septic tanks serve as the primary form of wastewater management for many households, regular desludging every five years plays a critical role in ensuring that domestic wastewater is properly managed.

The service is conducted by Manila Water at no additional cost to customers as part of the company’s sanitation and environmental protection initiatives.

To help ensure a smooth desludging activity, customers are advised to provide personnel with access to their septic tanks during the scheduled service period.

Through its integrated approach to water and wastewater management, the company helps protect public health, preserve the environment, and promote the long-term sustainability of water resources for the communities it serves.
