Manila Water rallies barangay participation in July desludging roll-out

“Desludging is a shared responsibility, and through our IEC program on sanitation, we make sure communities are equipped with the knowledge they need to participate actively.” ~Jeric Sevilla, Manila Water Communication Affairs Group Director 

Manila Water rolls out its July desludging schedule, supported by its IEC program. In partnership with LGUs and barangays, the IEC sessions help residents understand the desludging process, its benefits, and how to prepare.

With the launch of its July desludging campaign in Metro Manila's East Zone and portions of Rizal Province, Manila Water is demonstrating its continued dedication to clean and healthy communities.  The organization encourages locals to participate in this vital service, which supports public health and helps stop environmental degradation.

Manila Water runs its information, education, and communication (IEC) campaign before to each planned service to make sure locals are aware and ready.  The IEC sessions, which are organized in collaboration with barangay offices and local government units, give households crucial information on the desludging procedure, its advantages, and the preparations they must make before service day.

For July, Manila Water desludging trucks and ground personnel will be deployed in the following barangays: San Jose in Antipolo; San Isidro in Taytay; San Pedro in Angono; Mambog, Layunan, Libis, and Libid in Binangonan; San Jose, San Isidro, and Balite in Montalban (Rodriguez); Ampid II and Banaba in San Mateo; Gulod Malaya, Silangan, Sta. Elena, and Industrial Valley Complex in Marikina; Rosario, Santolan, and Buting in Pasig City; Alicia, Pasong Tamo, Loyola Heights, Bagong Pag-asa, San Roque, Ramon Magsaysay Damayang Lagi, and Holy Spirit in Quezon City; Balong Bato, Ermitanyo, Pedro Cruz, Little Baguio, and Maytunas in San Juan City; and Poblacion and Mabini-J. Rizal in Mandaluyong City. 

Frequent desludging is essential for safeguarding water supplies, lowering pollution, and improving community health in addition to ensuring that septic systems operate as intended.  Residents who take part in this program help to make the community safer, more resilient, and a cleaner place for everyone.
