Answer 2

If it is not taken care of it can harm you in many ways. For exmple if you live in a smaller city and you have your own private system or if you are on the city system, your line must be at least 100 feet from and water lines, because if its not sewage can seep into the water, i don't know about you but i myself don't like the sound of driking my own "discharge". I live in a small town and my family was interesed in buying some property on a road about a mile from the sewage treatment plant. if the wind blew at all, we could smell everything. it couldn't be controlled so we didnt buy the property, but the point is if it wasnt controlled, the smell would spead rapidly, not only that, but if you didnt controll the sewage at all, it would seep through the earthnand eventually hit the aquifer, causing all the water we use to become bad. hope i helped you out, and more q's ask. got to run. bye Its objective is to produce a waste stream (or treated effluent) and a solid waste or sludge suitable for discharge or reuse back into the environment.
