tooner 243 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Sometimes they're combined. Basically Im fascinated by the average house sewage and how the thousands of houses in a neighbourhood join up and travel miles under their own steam to a cleansing site. Gateshead and South Tyneside sewer systems both flow 5 or 6 miles to Jarrow before crossing the tyne. It amazes me the network involved in coordinating hundreds of thousands of homes into one tube and then that tube travelling miles to a final destination. not anymore, they used to do that sort of thing but not any longer. one major storm and you've got shit over flowing the system. modern systems are separate since each requires different treatment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(From Northumbria water) fair enough, although they usually put storm water through an oil/water separator and a 6mm screen to get any large trash out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 4005 Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 Just noticed there's a documentary ( 2 of 6 ) on BBC2 tonight at 9pm called Watermen: A Dirty Business...... which may shed some light on this fascinating subject. Tonight's episodes concentrates on how they tackle the hundreds of litres of fat poured down the drains each week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
