What is Sewage Water and Why is it Produced?

Sewage water is waste water from people living in a community. It is the water released from households after use for various purposes like shower, bathtub, washing machine, dishwasher, kitchen sink and toilet, thus the name waste water. Sewage pumps transport sewage and untreated waste water.

Reasons for Production of Sewage Water

Submersible Sewage Pumps
1. The use of toilets as bins – Toilets are designated as fixtures for relieving nature calls. Sadly, careless people have turned toilets into deposit banks for waste materials such as papers, sanitary products and some even go to the extent of flushing plastics. These waste materials are the causes of blockages of sewage ways in most buildings. Blockages lead to over flooding of the toilets served by that sewer.

2. Cooking fats – Kitchen products have a lot of fats and oil. Greasy dishes are also washed in kitchen sinks. These materials are very fast at accumulating at the walls of the pipes where they form coverings that reduce the diameter of the pipe system which drain waste water into the sewer.Continued disposal of fats, oil and grease in sinks subsequently leads to complete blockage of the sewage system. This is even more hazardous than the blockage caused by toilet

3. Overcapacity of wastewater – Sewers are built to accommodate a certain volume of waste water. Nevertheless, there are various reasons why sewers overflow. For starters, there are contractors who on construction of buildings end up connecting the sewage system of the new building to the existing sewer made for another residential building.This leads to overflowing of the sewer which is hazardous to human health and can cause acute viral, bacterial and parasitic diseases like typhoid, gastroenteritis, and Hepatitis A.

4. Flooding – Flooding is also another factor that increases waste water. When there is excessive rain, as the water seeks for a pathway, it seeps into sewers and mixes with the waste water leading to more waste water in the sewer. If the volume of the sewer is small, chances are that the sewer system will be unable to hold the increasing volume of water thereby causing sewer pollution.

5. Improper handling of wastewater – It is a practice commonly done by industries. Industries use a lot of water, and for this reason, release most of it as waste water. As it is expected, the industries should treat the same water and bring it back into the industry machinery for reuse.

6. Root infiltration - Tree roots can be a cause of pollution of waste water. They enter sewer lines at certain points and crack the pipes or underground sewer tanks leading to seeping of filthy waste water out of the sewers.

Today, water treatment, its conservation, recycling & its reuse has assumed a greater significance. Thus, the demand for pumping / treating waste water is going up steadily. The present methods are also more versatile & thus demand greater reliability as far as pumping needs are concerned.
