Noob question
I paid the fee on time
IWK website say need clear individual septic tank every 2yr.
But never see IWK come clear my house septic tank sludge?

u nid 2 call & pay up front price
tat y ppl no pay indah water bill bcauz they can't fufill their promise
of so called "free service every 2 years"

i think u need to call them.

What will happen if my house tank full sludge ah?
If no impact to my house then I bo caok

i pay je. don't know

New houses no individual tank. Houses built in 70 and 80 only have individual tank

veli seldom haus got own septic tank nowadays

u must live kampong or old haus

What kind of house you staying. If teres house in housing area built in last 20 years no individual septic tank.

LOL

They came once. I think that was 8 years ago.

Not aware of this but my terrace house was built late 1998
Behind kitchen got one floor cover
I open see got few lubang where water from other bathroom flow in, didn't notice any septic tank
So mean no tank? Where the shits urine go ah?

What u got own swpctic tank one ahh... I dread the thought if it pecah..

How big is your septic tank?

my house build on 1975 got.

in fact I can see my shit go into main drain.

but my house build on 2006 don't have.

so yea. I paid IWK on new house, bit old house never pay anything.

I think IWK charge on large scale tank. not single.

mmm... from the video, it seems our clean water comes from our own shit?

one day when u flush ur toilet the tank will full and ur kitchen all got SAI water

Shit water overflow to longkang. If no overflow line, I guess just spill over your yard

to a central sewage pipe to the local sewage pumping station then to the central sewage treatment station

still got a sub junction on landed properties , normally at kitchen got one man hole

back lane got a round cover manhole that is the tank , usually 2 row of terres got one

Oh mean IWK suck from behind lane no need come our house?

My house also have this septic tank. House build at mid 80s if I'm not mistaken.
My dad say only need to pay when IWK come to our house to clear the septic tank

Does anyone know how much they charge to clear the septic tank?

should be free la. but im kuching area. just need to tell the council to come and pump.. freee every two years. mine also old house. they will open the cover and pump all the shit... when its quite full, u cant really flush ur toilet lo.

Old house i got the bill but now move to new house 6 yrs never see IWK bill

lol
and ur neighbours as well

baja free

can flush as usual no problem one...

only during heavy rain then it will overflow and the surroundings will suffer lol...

only very very old house still has, even those built in 80s many converted to direct system

wat most ppl have is dis:


wat u prolly have is dis:


take note of the boundary line

anything inside ur responsibility, u pay

anything outside, indah water have to do free

because you need to call them to set appointment!. you think just come pump macam contractor buang sampah?

and its FREE! (the last 2 times i did it was free)

you're SOOO misinformed..

if you cannot flush,, means the whole system blocked... to repair will cost you thousands. the job? open up the tank, clean it up, and find the blockage... so prepare house to smell of shit for few days as IWK will use high pressure jets to dislodge, which means splatter your shit everywhere.

nowadays should be centralised already

Nope, even some new house still got individual tank. Depends on the developer. Some small developer because the units too little they didn't do the linkage to waste treatment.

How to confirm this ah?
Will IWK bill indicate anything?

my house got man hole but it is less than 10 years. possible individual tank?

Is the a sewerage treatment plan near you place. Also normally if only 1 pot hole in your house compound then is centralise. If 2 pot hole then is individual tank because one is sludge and the other is "filtered". By the way I have sheen the filter is normally just a lot of small stones in a pit between the tank.

i oso dunno, but i dun think so

My house only 1 rectangle shape cover..
I saw a small pond with don't know what facility behind my taman about 100m hidden la.. don't know related or not

How much u pay a month? RM8/month is connected services means u not using septic tank. Septic tank user i think only RM2/month.

prepare for bill shock

cant see any nearby sewerage treatment plant.
but mine only 1 hole.

What a shitty thread..... owai

if see oni 1 manhole in ur backyard means no septic tank lah

dat 1 is inspection chamber cover

how to know it's inspection chamber?

open up and see; inspection chamber is 1.5-2m deep

near the bottom u will see pipes slightly protruding from the walls; these r the wastage pipes from ur toilets, kitchen etc

bottom is 4 sloped sides with a pipe directly in the centre

and most importantly, it is relatively dry; IT SHUD NOT B FILLED UP WITH WATER

if u see water it means u got a clog oredi, RIP

Yup it's dry
But got few cockroach inside yucks
Last time I flush them down toilet thought they will dieded

no they did charge moneh
in fact i did it in penang house few month ago

where last time long ago they used 2 send notice letter 2 every1 & come at certain time
thn pump ever1 house 4 free

Hey guys sorry to revive this 2019's thread.
Anyone has any idea how's such conversion cost for a double terrace house in klang valley now?
Any idea where can I find in-depth details about such conversion because I couldn't find anything about this anywhere.

Unless there’s new Pumpstation/STP development in your area, I don’t think IWK will be able to convert your septic tank to direct tapping to their sewer system.
https://www.iwk.com.my/customer/sewerage-pipes-connection

Also, if it goes by the standard of new developments, that will mean 1% contribution fee of your house’s market price. In addition you need to bare the construction and piping costs up to the tapping point. I reckon you even need to pay for all those PDC submission fees and professional consultant fees.

TL;DR, I don’t think it will be cost feasible for old residential housings. You’re better off upgrading to bigger septic tank.
