@@cwuzii All I know is I remember an interview with a guy whose job was to unclog sewers, and he said that “flushable wipes” are bullshit and cause clogs in sewers all the time.
This is a nice primer for how sanitary sewer works, only part that grinds my gears as a stormwater nerd.... you showed storm drainage pipes & inlets a few times but the topic is highly pointed to sanitary sewer that is most the time completely separate systems.
Awesome vid. My question is, how did this all get installed in ancient cities like those in Europe where the infrastructure hasn’t changed much in a very long time? (Venice, for example)
The sewer systems are near rivers, they linked them with bored out the center wood or concrete ( ancient rome) n it flowed out (usually) from the river out to sea
@@rockit2017 The industry in North America still mainly works with the imperial system. 25mm for every inch will give you the nominal size in metric units.
If sludge is used for fertilzer for the farming of food products, how do they remove the toxic chemicals used in products such as laundry detergent, drain cleaners/uncloggers and so on?
I have a graden with couple of holes on the group , one of them is bigger and deeper My dogs tennis ball went inside and I cannot see it Is this dangerous??
This narrator is wrong. Let me explain; I work in sewer maintenance And I have never once serviced a sewer at a house over 4in. And it's always 6in or 8in in the street until you go MUCH MUCH farther down the line until it reaches 3 to 5ft or sometimes larger. Thanks
@@ConcerningReality Good video, but I've worked as a waterworks salesman in multiple municipalities and residential sewer service lines are 6" on the big side, 4-5" is standard.
i think all type of virusses produce from severage system, all sewrage materials should convert into oxyen gas as most part is water, other residues should heap and collect at one place and can be killed by amunation made for huminaty
This is what I love about RU-vid. Im in my basement randomly looking at the sewer pipe thinking I'm on the side of a hill, and I believe the sewage treatment plant is on the other side of this hill. And even if it's not, not every sewage treatment plant could possibly be on the lowest portion of buildable land. They couldn't possibly dig all of our sewage through the middle of this mountain. How would it Go uphill to get over? Not even sure why I was thinking about that, I am no engineer, just an average mechanic. But whatever, I guess our minds are always going LOL but anyways this was exactly the video I was looking for, thank you very much
Well.... i might be crazy but sewer looks like a hoax to me.... in order to make sewer to works on slope gravity you will need in some areas to dig deep deep down and there is no excavators that can dig that deep... now using pumps as this video suggests i never seen sewer pipes in my life.
My wife and I were having a very productive conversation about what happens to our dookie after we flush the commode. Well what do you know, there are several videos about sewage and 💩💩💩 and where the little fellas end up at. Very informative video.
Nice work! I think Sewer pump stations are often located away from people because they tend to smell....but they are often located near houses in any case...I’ve not heard of one exploding!
Thanks! Yeah the smell can be dangerous and that's why they're usually not close... the explosions do happen though and I included them for some dramatic flare :)
The sewers are installed at a slope underground, additionally It’s not as flat as it seems, any degree of change over a vast distance can be enough to direct flow in a given direction. 🙂
@@ConcerningReality There must be numerous pumping stations in my town. To bury sewer lines at a downward pitch over the length of my street, the pipe would have to go 10' deep at one end. And it would still be miles from the treatment plant.
