news ![]() 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. My parents have a holiday cottage in a tiny village that has no mains drainage. All the houses have their own septic tank (two-chamber sewage treatment unit that does more than just store the sewage, as happens with a cesspit). However to reduce the amount of water that goes into the septic tank, all the grey water is piped to a communal "land drain" that discharges into a nearby stream. I'm sure that arrangement contravenes almost every health and safety and environmental law known to man! Do many houses have a rainwater drain in the street? I thought that usual arrangement was for there to be a soakaway under the lawn for rainwater, so the rainwater and grey/sewage water never mixed. As far as I know, our house doesn't put rainwater into the septic tank, but pipes it into the same soakaway under the lawn that is used for the outflow of treated sewage water from the septic tank. |

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" Never heard that one before. And they didn't empty the tin under the dunny into the dunny cart. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gong_farmer or "night soil". That's the ****, not the **** collector. 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. Ours dunny men just opened the door at the back of the dunny, took the large tin of **** and **** and tipped it into the dunny cart. **** was also used to make gunpowder in earlier times, but not here. |

I have been watching the installation of services in our new subdivisions, what you lot call an estate. because a mate of mine is having a new house built on one. I thought that usual arrangement was for there to be a soakaway under the lawn for rainwater, That is done here when the block is downhill of the road but not when the house is uphill of the road. And you can see that on the street view of our streets. The rainwater pipe into the gutter stands out like dogs balls if you know what to look for. so the rainwater and grey/sewage water never mixed. That's certainly what is legal here, but a few flout the law. As far as I know, our house doesn't put rainwater into the septic tank, Yeah, that's a very bad way to do a septic tank. but pipes it into the same soakaway under the lawn that is used for the outflow of treated sewage water from the septic tank. Yeah, that's very common. |

As far as I know, our house doesn't put rainwater into the septic tank, but pipes it into the same soakaway under the lawn that is used for the outflow of treated sewage water from the septic tank. The replacement of all in one drain systems by 'rain into local buffering via soakaways or flood ponds' and 'all grey water and sewage to be treated', has been gradually implemented over the last 50 years or more. There is a massive benefit in terms of flood and hygiene control from buffering rainwater as near to where it falls as possible. or, failing that, to get it into the natural ditch/stream/river/sea drainage systems as fast as possible. The last thing you want to do with it is mix it with sewage needing treatment and risk raw sewage mixing with flood water or overwhelming treatment plants. There is an argument that grey water might be treated separately, but in the end a three way system is a bit too complex, and there is no telling how many people pee in the shower, or flush rotting food down the sink. -- The theory of Communism may be summed up in one sentence: Abolish all private property.

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. My parents have a holiday cottage in a tiny village that has no mains drainage. All the houses have their own septic tank (two-chamber sewage treatment unit that does more than just store the sewage, as happens with a cesspit). However to reduce the amount of water that goes into the septic tank, all the grey water is piped to a communal "land drain" that discharges into a nearby stream. I'm sure that arrangement contravenes almost every health and safety and environmental law known to man! Every time I've walked near a septic tank it has stunk to high heaven. They're a disgusting invention. Do many houses have a rainwater drain in the street? I thought all streets had those - where do you think the rainwater goes that flows off the road? I thought the usual arrangement was for there to be a soakaway under the lawn for rainwater, Soakaways don't work, not in Scotland anyway.* The land is already waterlogged, you can't shove more into it. so the rainwater and grey/sewage water never mixed. How would a soakaway prevent that?* Every house I know of (apart form old ones where it's all one pipe) have to pipes, one goes into the rainwater drains and meets up with water flowing off the road, and the other gets treated.* Rain into the rivers, grey and brown into the sewage treatment plant.* All a soakaway would do is to put less into the rainwater system which goes straight into a river anyway. As far as I know, our house doesn't put rainwater into the septic tank, but pipes it into the same soakaway under the lawn that is used for the outflow of treated sewage water from the septic tank. You must have a huge lawn.* I couldn't soak that much water away.* The lawn is already full of rainwater that landed directly on it, you can't add more to that. In the near of Scotland puddle clay is just under the vegitable soil that's why.... -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com |
