“To ensure that the septage or collected wastewater is properly treated, we continue to encourage our customers to avail of Manila Water’s desludging services to ensure that the effluent to be released back to water bodies passes the standards set by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources.

“Manila Water is currently operating two (2) septage treatment plants, one in Taguig City and the other in San Mateo, Rizal, that receive and treat the hauled septage before discharging into water bodies through environmentally safe means,” said Jeric Sevilla, Manila Water Corporate Communications Affairs Group Director.

“We can also prolong the life of our household septic tanks through regular desludging every 5-7 years. If the septage accumulates for too long, the solids might clog drains and overflow and may potentially contaminate the water supply at home. These poses harm not only to sanitation but to the health and safety of our customers,” Sevilla added.
