Mandatory desludging of septic tanks starts June 1

Some ISTs in Kuala Lumpur are not connected to the treatment plant in Pantai.

BEGINNING June 1, it is mandatory for house owners with individual septic tanks (IST) to desludge their ISTs within their premises.

Indah Water Konsortium Sdn Bhd (IWK) chief executive officer Narendran Maniam told StarMetro that IWK would be carrying out the desludging service.
