We introduce pollutants and contamination to our environment whenever we use water. Even if nature has its way of coping with these pollutants, it can still get overwhelming. That's where sewage treatment comes in. Here's everything you need to know about sewage treatment plants and their processes.
Onsite wastewater treatment systems are typically referred to as septic systems, comprising septic tanks for partial treatment. The main objective of onsite sewage facilities is to release treated wastewater into the environment. An onsite sewage facility is a small-scale sewage treatment plant situated in backyards.
Cold winter months can cause terrible problems for your home, especially when they create a frozen sewer line. When water freezes, it may cause ice build-up and blockage. This is a great nuisance to homeowners as it often leads to a lack of water supply. If bad luck hits you, your frozen sewer pipes might even blow up at the weakest point, resulting in flooding. Yikes!
When it rains, do you ever wonder where all that water goes and why it doesn't flood your community? Do you know how many storms and sanitary sewers you pass when you walk down the streets? How exactly do these two sewers work, and what makes them different? Why must they be kept separate? And how do they help our daily lives?
All drainage systems are meant to remove excess water from residential buildings to reduce the risk of contamination. However, there are different drainage systems with unique characteristics and functions. We'll be covering the different types and their purposes here.
