Manila Water has released its January 2026 desludging schedule, offering customers across the East Zone of Metro Manila and Rizal province free septic tank cleaning to promote a healthy start to the new year. The company emphasizes that this essential service prevents wastewater overflow, protects community sanitation, and reduces the risk of waterborne diseases.
The company announced that its desludging trucks will service select barangays throughout January at no additional cost to customers. Regular desludging every five years is crucial for maintaining household hygiene and safeguarding local waterways, especially as families reset routines for the new year.
Manila Water’s Communication Affairs Group Director, Jeric Sevilla, stated: “Regular desludging may seem like a small task, but it has a big impact on keeping households healthy and communities protected. As we welcome 2026, we encourage our customers to take advantage of our septic tank cleaning services… so we can work together in keeping our environment clean.”
The scheduled service for January 2026 will cover barangays in:
