The MWSS Regulatory Office (RO) joins UN-Water in the observance of the World Toilet Day (WTD) 2023 with the theme, “Accelerating Change.”
This year’s celebration aims to highlight the journey towards achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 6 – Clean Water and Sanitation. With just seven years remaining, everyone has to accelerate and intensify their efforts to meet the sanitation target of SDG 6 – safe toilets and water for all by 2030.
Moreover, WTD 2023 campaign serves as a platform to raise awareness about the challenges faced by 3.5 billion people across the globe who live without access to basic sanitation.
In support of these objectives, the MWSS RO, with the Concessionaires: Maynilad Water Services, Inc. (MWSI), and Manila Water Company, Inc. (MWCI) are continuously working towards creating healthier communities by expanding the sewerage and sanitation coverage within the Concession Area and ensuring an equitable access to desludging services for the public.
Furthermore, the MWSS RO encourages everyone to practice water conservation at home while ensuring proper septage management. This includes utilizing gray water for toilet flushing; using half flush when appropriate; and refraining from disposing of solid waste in toilets.
