Sewage water is wastewater from
people living in a community. It is the water released from households after
use for various purposes like washing dishes, laundry, and flushing the toilet,
thus the name wastewater. The used water moves from the houses through pipes
installed during plumbing. The sewage water then moves into sewers, either
constructed by the house owner, or into a sewer facility set up by the
municipality.
Mostly, sewage water consists of
grey water and black water. Grey water is the waste water from
washing either from bathing, dishes or laundry. Black water is the waste water
from toilets. It is characterized by debris such as paper wrappings, sanitary
products, soap residues, and dirt due to the chemical composition of the
various waste materials. Plus, sewage water has a foul smell.
There are two types of sewage:
treated and untreated.
Treated sewage:
Treated sewage refers to
wastewater or sewage which has passed through a treatment plant. Sewage goes
through several stages in the treatment process ensuring that all harmful
bacteria, pollutants and contaminants are eliminated. The stages of sewage
treatment include pre-treatment, primary, secondary and tertiary sewage
treatment. The last stage usually involves the use of UV light to ensure all
bacteria and/or viruses are removed. After treatment, the water will usually
pass into rivers or seas or be reused for irrigation and agricultural purposes.
Coming into contact with treated
sewage is rare, but can arise if large flooding events affect sewage treatment
plants or in very rare cases there is a pump or other equipment failure that
results in wastewater spreading over land and potentially into property.
Untreated sewage:
Untreated sewage refers to wastewater
which contains harmful waterborne pathogens and bacteria and which has not yet
gone through a sewage treatment plant. Raw sewage originates from broken toilet
pipes, overspills, industry leakages and heavy storms. It poses an extremely
high risk to human and animal health and the longer it sits and stagnates a
home or a business, the greater amount of bacteria it will contain.
Quite often, in the poorer areas
of the world, sewage can get dumped anywhere and this is unfortunate as people
have no access to proper treatment plants, therefore increasing health risks in
those areas.
