Lucia in San Juan City.

Rizal customers in San Jose, San Roque, and Cupang in Antipolo City; San Juan in Taytay; San Vicente in Angono; San Carlos in Binangonan; Rosario, San Isidro, Burgos, and Manggahan in Montalban should also prep their septic tanks as desludging tanks will be arriving in May.

“We are also inviting our customers to join our Information, Education, and Communication campaigns to learn more about the benefits and how you can help promote community health and the environment through our desludging services,” Corporate Communications Affairs Group Director Jeric Sevilla said.

Part of the company’s desludging campaign is the Information, Education, and Communication (IEC) campaign, where Manila Water Advocacy Managers and Service Area representatives go to barangays to promote and teach the benefits of its desludging program. It has also become a venue for customers to reach out to the company to address their concerns and queries.

To inquire about the schedule, customers are advised to coordinate with their barangay offices or call Manila Water’s Customer Help Desk at 1627.
