MANILA Water, the concessionaire of the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS) for the East Zone will go around its concession area to provide free septic tank siphoning next month.
The company targets to cover 67 barangays wherein customers will be spared of the cost of tank siphoning by a private contractor.
Manila Water says it want to underscore the importance of regular desludging as part of its flagship advocacy “Toka Toka,” the first and only environmental movement in the Philippines that advocates proper management of wastewater in every household as an important toka, which means share, in reviving the country’s rivers and waterways.
Before the scheduled desludging in the barangay, Manila Water, through its Advocacy Managers and Service Area representatives, leads an information, education, and communication session to discuss the importance of regular desludging of household septic tanks to the health of the community and the environment.
During the event, Manila Water also briefs customers on how the collected wastewater is treated in Manila Water’s Septage Treatment plants (SpTps), ensuring it passes the stringent government standards set for effluent before being discharged back to various water bodies in its service area.
Toka Toka also calls for the practice of solid waste and segregation and connection of all households to a proper sewer line.
