Standard Operating Procedures for Desludging of Septic Tanks
September 2020
The National Faecal Sludge and Septage Management (FSSM) Policy mentions regular desludging of septic tanks through a systematic extraction and collection procedure. A Standard Operating Procedure note for desludging septic tank is developed to guide the Urban Local Bodies (ULBs), other engaged agencies, service providers – public or private about the procedures and practice required during the desludging operation with safety. Separate instructions are provided for demand-based desludging and scheduled based desludging for Pre-Desludging Operations, During Desludging Operations and Post-Desludging Operations.
