I suppose we use what you would call a two pipe system. There is talk here of introducing a new third pipe for greywater. That is, water that comes from baths, sinks, showers, etc. as opposed to sewerage from toilets. Difficult to retrofit of course but new estates are likely to be plumbed this way in the near future. This country is in fact the UK, hence the uk in uk.d-i-y, and we don't do things that way. Millions of old houses put the whole lot down the sewage system. alt.home.repair is in America you fool, it's sent to two newsgroups. |

Here the rainwater pipes do NOT connect to sanitary sewers AT ALL WHY do you CAPITALISE for NO reason? And nowadays we do have seperate piping. Costs more to install two sets of pipes under the road, but saves money having to clean less waste, but What??? You already have a *sullage system*. It's more commonly known as a *storm water system*. The street drains feed into it and that's where household sullage lines should also feed into. The sewerage is and always should be separate (note spelling). It isn't on older houses. I don't know when they introduced storm drains as being seperate. I agree it would be strange if they had those but connected the houses just to the sewer. when someone connects something to the wrong pipe as I've done for convenience, sewage goes into the sea. P.S. you just replied to someone in a uk group and removed that group, so he didn't see your reply. ****wit. How to win friends and influence people. Contrarywise, it is in fact Clare who is not allowing UK folk to see her replies, which is rude. |

The second one is preferable obviously. No its not; Much more convenient for the bath to keep working until the plumber shows up. I don't want a bath full of water all over my garden. Why not? It's grey water so will not harm the *garden*. Specially when the entire island is so soggy already. Hey I actually watered the garden today, hasn't rained for a fortnight. Mad. I only water mine when it hasn't rained for a year. |

There is some suggestion on certain web sites that it is to increase flow rate. The air break will assist in that. How? When you have a dam with the hopper the air can't get in. |

The second one is preferable obviously. No its not; Much more convenient for the bath to keep working until the plumber shows up. I don't want a bath full of water all over my garden. Why not? It's grey water so will not harm the *garden*. Specially when the entire island is so soggy already. Hey I actually watered the garden today, hasn't rained for a fortnight. Mad. I only water mine when it hasn't rained for a year. Depends on the size of the plants. Ones that have been there a while have deeper roots. |

FLUSH 198 !!! Lines of Sick Troll****!
....and much better air in here, again!
-- TYPICAL retarded "conversation" between sociopath Rodent and sociopath Birdbrain from August 26th 2018: Birdbrain: "I have one head but 5 fingers." Senile Rodent: "Obvious lie. You hairy legged cross dressers are so inbred that you all have two heads." Birdbrain: "You're the one that likes hairy legs remember?" Senile Rodent: "The problem isnt the hairy legs, it's the gross inbreeding that produces two headed unemployables like you." Birdbrain: "So why did you mention hairy legs?" Senile Rodent: "Because that's what those who arent actually stupid enough to shave their legs have." Birdbrain: "You only have hairy legs if both of the following are true: 1) You're quite far back on the evolutionary scale. 2) You haven't learned what a razor is for." Senile Rodent: "Only a terminal ****wit or a woman shaves their legs." Birdbrain: "There is literally zero point in having hair all over your body." Senile Rodent: "There is even less point in wasting your time changing what you are born with." MID: |

... Aren't all Aussie dunnies in the shed? They never were in the shed when we had dunny carts collecting the **** and **** that was in tins under the seat and emptied weekly into the dunny cart. https://www.google.com/search?q=dunn...ralia&tbm=isch Great job, eh ? The job is described in census returns in the UK as "gong farmer" or "night soil". My grandpa, who lived in a small town in the woollen manufacturing area of West Yorkshire, could remember when he was little (so maybe 1910-15) a man leading a horse-drawn cart with a big wooden barrel, calling out "Old Wesh" (wash). This was one of those street-vendor's calls that sounds like gibberish because it's said so many times (as in the Morecambe and Wise "Morny Stannit" sketch). But this man was actually asking people to take out their chamberpots of **** to pour into the barrel: stale urine was used for treating the wool - not sure whether it was part of the fulling process or for fixing the dye into the wool. |
