Manila Water underscores importance of regular desludging as part of “Toka” in environmental protection

As part of its flagship advocacy “Toka Toka”, East Zone concessionaire Manila Water encourages its customers to take advantage of the monthly desludging service offered by the Company.

Toka Toka is the first and only environmental movement in the Philippines that advocates proper management of wastewater in every household as an important share (or “toka”) in reviving our 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, and 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.

In October, Manila Water’s desludging caravan will go around sixty-seven (67) barangays in the East Zone to provide septic tank siphoning at no additional cost.

In Metro Manila: in Barangay 763, 768, 771, 779, 781, 784, 786, 787, 788, 789, 794, 797, 800, 801 and 802 in the City of Manila; Ugong Norte, Bagong Lipunan ng Crame, Pinyahan, Bahay Toro, Botocan, White Plains, Amihan, Old Capitol Site, West Triangle, Duyan Duyan, Malaya, Project 6, Teacher’s Village East and Teacher’s Village West in Quezon City; Bel-air, Olympia, Pitogo, San Lorenzo, Singkamas, South Cembo, Valenzuela and Pio Del Pilar in Makati City; Bagong Silang, Hagdang Bato Itaas, Hagdang Bato Libis, Harapin ang Bukas, Mauway and Pag-asa in Mandaluyong City; Sumilang, San Nicolas, Sagad, Maybunga, Malinao, Kapasigan, Oranbo, and San Antonio in Pasig City; San Roque in Marikina City; Sta. Lucia in San Juan City; and San Miguel in Taguig City.
