The sewage system involves the collection and removal of wastewater from its point of origin to treatment facilities. After use, drinking water immediately becomes municipal wastewater. Together with wastewater and rainwater, it travels through the public sewer system, ending at a treatment plant where the water is cleaned before returning to the natural environment. This completes the water cycle.
The sewage system is a crucial part of municipal infrastructure that positively impacts the quality of living environments. By effectively capturing and treating wastewater, we protect human health, prevent the spread of diseases, and avoid contaminating surface and groundwater.
Most sewage systems operate on a gravity-based principle, utilizing natural slope for flow. In areas where natural slope is not feasible, pumps are installed within the system to lift wastewater to treatment facilities.
The sewage system consists of:
The sewage system consists of: pipelines of various dimensions, pumping stations, relief valves, retention tanks, inspection chambers, oil and sand traps, and treatment plants.
