Here is the local ordinance on sanitation from San Fernando La Union (SFLU), Philippines, passed by the City Council and signed by the Mayor in 2010. It provides the following:

- Establishes a City Wastewater Management Council, specifying roles and responsibilities;
- Establishes “acquired rights” where new buildings must comply with proper septic system design and installation procedures, but existing systems are exempt until:
o The property is sold;
o There is a substantial remodel of the building; or
o The Health Officer deems the existing system is contributing to an imminent health hazard.
- Procedures for collection, transportation and reuse of septage; and
- The mechanisms of the scheduled desludging program including fees and contracting desludging services to the private sector.
