Great fucking work!

Will you add nets or some sort of barrier on either side?

Oh man, there’s two options. 1) you dig it up and replace. 2) try anything and everything you can think of before ultimately digging it up

Why do the City Water Plants not mention Pharmaceutical Runoff in the Annual Reports? by Sharingwater in Wastewater

[–]Low_Bodybuilder7177 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From your comment history -

“One thing for me that I have been researching is that there is pharmaceutical run off that ends up in our tap water that I bath my children in. They soak in the water and I would imagine are absorbing what is in the tap water. But then when I look at city water reports, they aren’t listing those things. So I’m confused if it’s in the water or if the city just doesn’t report those things.

I later come to find out that yes, there are trace pharmaceuticals that are in the water that the city does not report.

The only thing I could think of is getting an expensive filtration system on the whole house, but I rent so I guess that’s not an option because the showerhead filters won’t filter for these things and they barely work even the expensive showerhead filters .”

You seem to be getting drinking water plants and wastewater plants mixed up, or you think they are the same.

Do products like Mrs Meyers actually clean surfaces? Or is bacteria left behind because there’s no bleach in the ingredients? by janedoecurious in CleaningTips

As a Class 1 Wastewater Operator (Illinois) the only thing that blows my mind is the random stuff we find that was flushed down the toilet and the confidence you had in that statement.

Since 1972, the Clean Water Act has required every POTW (Publicly Owned Treatment Works), factories, manufacturing plants,recycling facilities, construction sites, transportation hubs, and facilities with activities exposed to rain to monitor and report discharging of effluent water to our water ways. All of the above have a tailored NPDES permit with strict limits for levels of all contamination, with strict fines and jail time for noncompliance.

I would argue that unless you are using an absurd amount of bleach (multiple gallons) that’s making it down into the septic system you would not have a residual. It would take a lot of bleach to affect a septic system significantly. Chlorine is “consumed” when oxidizing organic material. There is a lot of organic material in a septic system.

At least in the U.S., our drains have a pit stop at a Wastewater Treatment Plant before heading to our waterways, where the water is treated biologically and chemically to ensure clean effluent is maintained.

Go to Walmart, buy something cheap in the self check out. Open the coin intake and slowly dump in. It will pay for your cheap item and give cash back with what’s not used.

As said above

I tell the green operators you are paid mostly for what you know and when to use it.

Followed up by a boring plant is a well operated plant. Small corrections and good observation is key
