Standard Operating Procedures for Desludging of Septic Tanks Center for Water and Sanitation CRDF; CEPT University (2020)
It is known that eradicating open defecation is only half the battle. For improving sanitation, faecal sludge and wastewater also needs to be safely managed. It is in this context that Government of India, Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) issued a National Faecal Sludge and Septage Management (FSSM) Policy3 . It recommends regular desludging of septic tanks through a systematic extraction and collection procedure which will be essential to check environmental pollution. CPHEEO suggests septic tanks should be cleaned at least once in two - three years4
