It is disgusting that in this day and age, raw sewage still contaminates our beaches.
Decentralisation (each house treats its own sewage, as in Australian ECO towns)of sewage treatment is the only answer. Imagine if the only thing leaving every property in the UK was clean water?
Septic tank experts is right. The technology exists but the will is missing. Non-electric sewage treatment plants could be fitted to every new house and office, saving thousands of tons of CO2 emissions, but the Government only pays lip service to Green issues.
The problem is that sewage is not a popular green topic. It takes 280 watts of electricity to clean up every litre of sewage at a sewage works and sewage treatment accounts for 3% of the UK's national electricity useage. Decentralisation could save all of this, using non-electric methods.
It is very worrying that the Olympic atheletes will be subject to the viruses and bacteria that abound in the seas around the UK due to our cavalier attitude about sewage treatment.
Thanks for the comments, we love facts!!!! One of the main reasons that sewage is not a popular topic in the UK is no doubt down to the fact that even thou we live on an island and water surrounds us on every angle there will always be the meantality of 'its not my problem' and also ignored with a passion by the media! Some of the sights that we have witnessed with our very own eyes would make even the hardest person choke!
Believe me, despite all the awareness and education programs implemented across the country, this thing will still happen. The root cause is ignorance. People simply don't care as long as the discharge is not in their own backyard. But what they don't realize is that what goes around comes around and eventually everybody has to bear the brunt. Luckily, there are people who would highlight this issue and let us all join effort to alert each other in order to create a better living environment.
I would like to add more information on above post with reference to Sewage Treatment Plants, WasteWater Treatment Plants, Latest technology used for Sewage Treatment, Sewage Process along with their Producers. - sewage treatment plants companies
Nowadays awareness about sewage treatment plants is more important if we use wastewater treatment plants we can save water and we have to spread to the people regarding the sewage treatment plants process is more important.
I have a sewage treatment plant pdf, I hope this information will helpful to you.
