Envirokonsult Equipment and Services Inc. reminds the public about the importance of proper septage management by desludging the septic tank periodically, a release from the company said.

Envirokonsult is the only duly authorized and licensed septage management firm in Bohol. 

It is licensed to conduct desludging here. Desludging is the process of removing both the scum and the sludge layers in one’s septic tank.

Under Republic Act 9275 or the Clean Water Act, all septic tanks need to be desludged every three (3) to five (5) years. The desludging of septic tanks is mandated in the ordinances passed in the towns of Dauis and Panglao and in the City of Tagbilaran.

Removing sludge from the septic tanks is important as a means to safeguard public health and to prevent drinking water contamination, which could lead to diseases such as typhoid, cholera and dysentery among others.
