“We are encouraging our customers to take advantage of the siphoning services Manila Water is offering. This will prevent overflow in your households and help in minimizing water pollution,” Corporate Communications Affairs Group Director Jeric Sevilla said.

Septage collected from septic tanks undergoes the proper treatment process in Manila Water’s septage treatment plants before being released to waterways. This helps ensure the ecological balance of bodies of water.
