Maynilad cleans 312,000 septic tanks; offers desludging service to customers

West Zone concessionaire Maynilad Water Services, Inc. (Maynilad) offered septic tank cleaning services to almost 700,000 accounts since its re-privatization in 2007 but only 312,000 or 46% availed of the service.  Among the common reasons for non-availment were inaccessibility of the septic tanks, perceived inconvenience and inability to locate the septic tanks.
 
Maynilad is appealing to its customers to avail of its septic tank cleaning services to prevent the clogging of their residential plumbing systems and to minimize the discharge of pollutants into the environment.
 
As of June 2013, Maynilad has collected and treated more than 436,000 cu.m. of septage which is being treated by its Dagat-dagatan Septage Treatment Plant (DDSpTP).
Maynilad’s DDSpTP is the first facility of its kind in the Asia Pacific Region to receive triple ISO certifications for quality, environment, and safety and health management. This proves that the facility’s operations and processes meet stringent international standards.
 
This September, Maynilad is offering septic tank cleaning services to its customers in select parts of Caloocan, Quezon City, Sampaloc and Las Piñas.
