Manila Water bares desludging schedule for January 2025

East zone concessionaire Manila Water Company Inc. on Thursday announced its upcoming septic tank desludging schedule for January next year.

For January, Manila Water said its desludging caravan will visit barangays 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.

The desludging trucks will also be present in barangays Balite, San Rafael, San Isidro and San Jose in Montalban and Mayamot in Antipolo City, all in the province of Rizal.

Manila Water said regular septic tank desludging is among the ways to protect the environment as well as personal property of its customers. 

The water utility said that desludging helps prolong the life of the septic system at home as it prevents blockages that can cause damage and deterioration of septic tanks.

“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 Jeric Sevilla, Manila Water communication affairs group director.

Manila Water explained that septic tank siphoning supports the protection of the environment and biodiversity through proper septage treatment. 

It added that desludging can also prevent pollutants from getting into water sources such as surface and ground water.
