Interesting fact: Sewers are only modern in how we know them today. On the Isle of Crete nearly 4,000 years ago, the ancient Minoans had a very efficient, albeit primitive, sewer system. There is even evidence to suggest that they had properly functioning indoor plumbing. The sewers were a mixture of open-topped drains and clay pipes and the lavatories are actually thought to have been able to “flush” with the assistance of an overhead water reservoir. Additionally, the Minoans even utilized these plumping methods to carry fresh water into their city some 2,500-3,000 years before the Roman’s introduced and used their aqueducts.

As someone who inspects sewer on the opposite side of the US, flushable wipes are anything but flushable. We had a TV crew go out and check on a house that was backing up, since the homeowner had called a plumber and they ran a camera from their end. Reviewing our video, their connection was completely blocked by wipes caught on a combination of roots and the lip of the connection.

In the days following hurricane Ian, we were asked to avoid putting anything down the drain because there was no power to the lift stations. Of course, not everyone thought they needed to heed that, so sewer covers on some low streets had raw sewage bubbling out. Makes me appreciate the system and the work of the people who keep it working. Being able to flush is a blessing!

Thankfully at least having raw sewage flowing down the back lawn finally induced the owner to move him out! (He left 7 of his 8 cats behind though, so then I had months of working with humane society to trap & rehome those...)

@spikesya the romans did have sewage system and public toilets. The waste water flowed untreated into the next river, but still amazing. And a lot better than what was done in the middle ages, where there was a kind of canal in the middle of the road and rain water would take it away (Imagine living on the bottom end of the town, in the final curve…).

There are a couple of other knobs the civil engineer can turn (for a price, naturally). For instance, the sewer lines are not necessarily circular in cross section. A more-or-less egg-shaped cross section can keep velocity higher during low flows, when the flow is in the more-tightly-curved bottom of the egg. The selection of material for the lines is a factor both in longevity (pipes do wear out) and the friction experienced by the sewage on its way down hill to the treatment plant. I have happy memories of a tour of the big San Francisco wastewater project decades ago, where they were re-engineering their combined system to meet modern standards and still handle storm flows. This included some huge interceptor structures along the shoreline to pick up all the flows heading down to the water, and slow-and-settle storm runoff as much as possible to avoid sending sewer-lumps out to the bay or the ocean beaches.

I've always been facinated with sewer systems and any other underground system. They have made such a positive impact on society.

The only thing that only the body can do is reverse gravity via venous return, & even then, if there's a clog in the system, the system backs up and all hell breaks loose.

@@RaymondDay While both electrical/data and gas are fairly blind to overdimension, it's not as easy as that for water and sewage. Fresh water is strictly controlled so as to not have problems with legionella or other contaminants that reproduce in stagnant water. Thus the fresh water pipe needs to be correctly dimensioned for the prospected development in the neighborhood. With sewage the main problem is, that there is not enough water, if there are too few people living there. Resulting in stench and clogged pipes, that requires extra maintenance in the form of rinsing via watertruck. If there are too many people on a sewage pipe, it can fill up the pipe to such an extent, that the flow pulls air into the system from the houses or backs up into houses. Both of those shouldn't result in any problems in modern sewage systems, but why risk it. Cleaning a sewage spill, you can essentially trow everything that came into contact with it away and even trow out the wall paint, etc. If it flowed under the floor screed, you can rip out the entire floor too.

It’s the least appreciated yet probably one of the most important pieces of engineering in the modern world; clean water, waste management, and many other things.

"Out of sight, out of mind", right?

I've designed a few replacement sewers, through an urban area, and trying to find a route that keeps the sewer line at the desired grade, and threading it between (i.e. over or under) intersecting stormwater lines, watermains, stream culverts, and anything else that might be in the way, was a real exercise in persistence, and a fair bit of trial and error. And I absolutely agree with Sir Joseph Bazalgette in 'oversizing' his sewers. Because, the cost of the sewer pipe is only a small fraction of the total cost of installation. And if in 30 years your successors find your sewer was too small and are forced to pay to do it all over again, they will find it an order of magnitude more difficult because the best (and possibly only practical) route is already occupied by the sewer you just put there! (The fights I've had with bean counters who assume a sewer is a portable replaceable asset like a truck or a photocopier...) In terms of capacity, our 'separate' sewers were generally designed for six times 'average dry weather flow' - and they would still overflow after a really heavy storm.

The air valve shown at 10:00 is a clear / clean water air valve, those designed for sewage typically have elongated (taller) bodies designed to keep it from clogging and releasing dirty water into the environment. Thank you for another fine video helping to make the complex subject simpler.

"There are no wastewater police" oh I get to be the well technically nerd on the internet! If there is someone dumping a lot of high concentration waste someone at the wastewater plant will likely notice. If it's bad enough they can start popping manhole covers to track back to whoever is dumping. Of course that's most likely going to be at minimum thousands of gallons of waste to be noticeable enough to annoy someone into tracking down the culprit.

That was detected by federal aerial over flights south of Cincinnati. It was fun doing the material characterizations (the "A" word) prior to demolishing a few of the older buildings that got contaminated with radiation. With us the last time we detected something was Nov 2018 and by noon we knew the two man holes it was between and detected it at 0830. A fuel smell and guess what was between the two man holes, one connection for a garage and two for homes. one home was vacant. It was the one home, the service station had a clean out and no smell. The guy with the home was working on a car and come to find out the drain in the home was connected to the sewer. He had no idea. Diesel is easy to track down, it stinks up the entire system. Other stuff you have to do tests and that can take a while.

Landfills and sewers are two of the most under appreciated, out of sight, out of mind components of human waste.

A friend of mine works as an engineer at Hamburg Wasser, she told me that their sewage system was also upsized during the project phase but then it remained oversized as workload for it did not grow as much as anticipated. To make up for that, today, HW has to frequently pump an insane volume of perfectly drinkable water right at the ends of the sewage system so that waste doesnt accumulate. The "just make it bigger" is a risky approach.
