Meter-related FAQs
- Locate Your Water Meter: Find your water meter. It’s usually installed outside your home near the main water supply line.
- Read the Numbers: Most water meters have a combination of black and red numbers. The black numbers represent kiloliters (1 cubic meter), while the red numbers indicate liters. Read the numbers from left to right. This is the numbers in BLACK.
- Ignore Decimal Points: Do not consider the numbers after the decimal point. Focus only on the whole numbers. This is the numbers in RED.
- Calculate Consumption: To determine your water consumption since the last reading, subtract the previous meter reading (from your water bill) from the current meter read. The result will give you the number of cubic meters used.
There may be a water leak in your water/plumbing system. To check for water leaks, close all water outlets inside your property and observe your water meter. If the water meter's tiny wheel (leak indicator) continues to move, then there may be an underground leak within your water/plumbing system. You may contact your trusted plumber who can investigate and fix the water leak.

Water Conservation FAQs
- Always turn taps off tightly so they do not drip.
- Promptly repair any leaks in and around your taps. (One leak can waste several thousand liters of water per year.)
- Use an aerator and/or a water flow-reducer attachment on your tap to reduce your water usage.
- When hand-washing dishes, never run water continuously. Wash dishes in a partially filled sink and then rinse them using the spray attachment on your tap.
- If you have an electric dishwasher, use it only to wash full loads, and use the shortest cycle possible. Many dishwashers have a conserver/water-miser cycle.
- When brushing your teeth, turn the water off while you are actually brushing. Use short bursts of water for cleaning your brush. (This saves about 80% of the water normally used.)
- When washing or shaving, partially fill the sink and use that water rather than running the tap continuously. (This saves about 60% of the water normally used.) Use short bursts of water to clean razors.
- Use either low-flow shower heads or adjustable flow-reducer devices on your shower heads. (They reduce flow by at least 25%.)
- You can reduce water usage by 40% to 50% by installing low-flush toilets.
- Wash only full loads in your washing machine.
- Use the shortest cycle possible for washing clothes and use the "suds-saver" feature if your machine has one.
- Use only cleaning products that will not harm the environment when they are washed away after use. Look for "environmentally friendly" products when shopping.
- Lawns and gardens require only 5 millimeters of water per day during warm weather.
- Water lawns every three to five days, rather than for a short period every day. In warm weather, apply 5 millimeters of water for each day since the last watering.
- Water during the cool part of the day, in the morning or evening. Do not water on windy days.
- Do not over-water in anticipation of a shortage. Soil cannot store extra water.
- Use shut-off timers or on-off timers, if possible. Do not turn on sprinklers and leave for the day.

Septage Management FAQs
What is septage?
Septage is what is inside your septic tank. It means the sludge produced on individual onsite wastewater disposal systems, principally septic tanks and cesspools.
It includes solids and liquids that come from your toilet, sinks, kitchen and laundry. It refers to the partially treated waste stored in a septic tank. It includes all household wastes that are disposed of through a home's plumbing system and are not drained out into the soil or converted to gases by the bacteria in the tank.
Septage consists of solids and liquids that come from toilets, sinks, kitchens, and laundry. It is also defined as a liquid or semisolid that includes normal household wastes, human excreta, and animal or vegetable matter in suspension or solution generated from a residential septic tank system.
Is septage dangerous?
Yes. Sewage from your house and septage from your septic tanks contain pathogens, such as E. coli, that can make you and your family not feeling well. It can cause serious health problems in your community and a great deal of damage to every part of the ecosystem in the event that it floods or leaks into the groundwater or other bodies of water. Regular desludging, cleaning and the proper maintenance of septic tanks help prevent the contamination of water sources and the health risks it will cause.
What is septage management?
It is the program of WASSER WATER, in close partnership with the Local Government Unit of San Isidro, Nueva Ecija, in the desludging (emptying) of septic tanks, transporting and the proper treatment and disposal of the by-products of wastewater (effluent) and biosolids (sludge) taken out from those septic tanks so these can be disposed of without causing any harm to the environment.
Why do we need septage management?
Septage is not only smelly. It can also contaminate water sources and spread water-borne diseases. You can take care of your septic tanks by having it drained and cleaned by a duly accredited service provider. Septage must be treated properly prior to disposal to avoid serious environmental and health hazards to you, your community and the environment.
Is septage required by law?
Yes. The Philippine Clean Water Act of 2004 (Republic Act No. 9275 March 22, 2004) requires all local government units to implement septage management program.
How much will this service cost me?
- Only Residential type accounts are charged with Septage fee.
- Septage fee is calculated at 5.5 pesos per cubic meter consumption.
- The maximum consumption chargeable with Septage fee is 35 cubic meter (so a consumption of 100 cubic meter for example, is charged only with 192.5 pesos Septage Fee).
- If the consumption is less than 10 cubic meter, the Septage Fee is calculated as if the consumption is 10 cubic meter.
ANO ANG SEPTAGE?

Ito ang programa ng pamahalaan na naglalayon na mapangasiwaan ang kalidad ng mga yamang tubig kung saan bawat lokal na pamahalaan ay dapat magkaroon ng ordinansa ukol sa regular na paglilinis ng septic tank o ng pozo negro. Sapagkat ang septage o dumi mula rito ay maaring magdulot ng kontaminasyon sa ating mga yamang tubig at maging sanhi ng pagkalat ng sakit.
BAKIT KAILANGAN ANG SEWAGE AND SEPTAGE MANAGEMENT?
Sapagkat ang septage o dumi mula sa pozo negro ay delikado lalung-lalo na kapag ito ay humalo sa ating mga katubigan. Ito ay maaaring magdulot ng malubhang sakit gaya ng typhoid, diarrhea, at cholera.
ITO BA AY MINANDATO NG GOBYERNO?
Oo. Ito ay ayon sa "Clean Water Act of 2004", lahat ng mga lokal na pamahalaan ay may obligasyong ipa-implement ang Sewage and Septage Management Program sa mga lugar na walang piped sewage system. Dahil dito, ang Munisipyo ng San Isidro ay nagpatupad ng Municipal Ordinance No. 1 Series of 2020 (Proper Septage Management System in the Municipality of San Isidro, Nueva Ecija) alinsunod sa nasabing batas. Ayon sa ordinansang ito, kailangang lahat ng septic tanks ay malinisan kada limang (5) taon para sa residential na gusali at kada tatlong (3) taon para sa commercial na gusali.
MAGKANO ANG BABAYARAN PARA SA SERBISYO?
Ang halaga ng desludging ay mas mura kumpara sa sinisingil ng mga ibang pribadong kumpanya. Ang mga residential accounts ay ibabase sa di bababa sa 10 cubic meter hanggang 35 cubic meter ng aktuwal na konsumo, alinman ang mas mababa sa halagang PhP 5.50 per cubic meter na babayaran sa loob ng limang taon.
Halimbawa: Residential Accounts (payable in 5 years)
