Customers are reminded by Manila Water to schedule desludging their septic tanks to further extend the septic tank’s lifespan.
Manila Water has released the December desludging schedule for its customers but it reminded customers to coordinate with their barangay office to determine the schedule of this free service.
Residents of Darangan in Binangonan; Barangays San Isidro in Dalig and Dela Paz in Antipolo; and Brgys. Calumpang, San Roque, Sta. Elena, Sto. Nino, Fortune, and Nangka in Marikina City can expect desludging services available to them in December.
Desludging tankers and equipment are also ready for roll out in the said month in South Daang Hari in Taguig City; Tibagan in San Juan City; San Martin de Porres in Paranaque; and Brgys. Culiat, Pagligsahan, Matandang Balara, Marilag, Mangga, Kaunlaran, Immaculate Concepcion, and Valencia in Quezon City.
There will also be desludging activities in Carmona, Poblacion, Santa Cruz, and Tejeros in Makati City; Welfareville Compound in Barangay Addition Hills, Buwayang Bato, Hulo, and Plainview in Mandaluyong; and Brgys. 766, 770, 772, 780, 782, 783, 792, 793, 866, 869, 873, 874, 875, 876, 894, 896, 897, 898, 899, 903, 904, and 905 in Manila.
Jeric Sevilla, Manila Water Corporate Communication Affairs Group Head, emphasized the importance of having septic tanks siphoned on a regular basis.
“Let’s not wait until our septic tanks are full. That’s going to cause a bigger hassle for our customers. That is why we ask them to avail of this service at no added cost every five years.” Sevilla said.
Sevilla also mentioned that customers are not required to pay for the service as long as they contact their barangay offices to arrange scheduling.
One of the most important things you can do to protect and extend the life of all types of septic systems is desludging. If solids accumulate for an extended period, or if scum accumulates in critical parts of the system, your tank will not function properly. In the long run, this puts your system and eventually the users under significant strain.
