 The Sewage System

An effective sewage system is made up of a network of pipes

that carry wastewater to the sewer mains of the city. These pipes
that carry wastewater are called sewers. These sewers are
normally made of cast iron or PVC (polyvinyl chloride) pipes.

 The Sewage System

The wastewater goes down your drain when you flush the toilet or
wash your clothes. The pipes from each house or building are
connected to a sewer main that is covered by a lid called the manhole
cover. A person can enter a sewer through this manhole to check any
leakage or blockage for maintenance.

The Sewage System

. The sewer mains flow into progressively larger pipes until they
reach the wastewater treatment plant. In order to help the earth's
gravity do its job, the wastewater treatment plant is usually
located in a low-lying area. Sewer mains will often follow
streambeds (which flow naturally downhill) to the plant. The
sewage is then treated, cleaned and released into rivers and seas

Let’s Recall

A sewage system is made up of pipes that carry wastewater to

origin of treatment of wastewater. Pipes that carry wastewater are
