What are cesspools?
Septic Systems have been installed since the late 1800's replacing the old outside facility known as the outhouse. A septic system is a mini onsite sewage treatment system used when municipal sewers are not available. Depending on the age of your home, septic Systems on Long Island usually consist of a primary receiver (septic tank) and a drainage area (cesspool or drainage field). Homes constructed after 1973, will have a septic tank as the primary receiver while homes built prior to 1973 will have a cesspool as the primary receiver. (All homeowners residing in homes built prior to 1973 be sure to read the article on block construction cesspools on the home page) If properly installed and maintained on a regular basis, your septic system will provide many years of trouble free service.
How is waste water from the bathroom and kitchen treated before it is discharged into the sea?
It all flows to municipal treatment plants where it goes into a settling pond and the solids settle to the bottom of the tank, while black water flows into filters. Some form of aerobic action is used to reduce the bulk of the sludge, while the liquids are progressively filtered and disinfected to make them fit to be returned to the local environment as agricultural irrigation water or into rivers. The sludge, meanwhile is treated aerobically until it's literally eaten away by microbial action, in a succession of tanks. -This is only one type of system, there are many ways of handling this.In a public sewerage system, the largest sewers, called interceptors, carry the sewage to a wastewater treatment plant. Sewage treatment in most large cities involves two main steps, primary and secondary. Some cities require an additional step called tertiary treatment.Primary treatment removes the heaviest solid material from the sewage. At the treatment plant, sewage first passes through a screen that traps the largest pieces of matter. It then flows into a large sedimentation tank where many of the suspended solids sink to the bottom of this tank forming sludge. Grease floats to the surface, where it can be removed by skimming. Secondary treatment removes from 85 to 90 per cent of the solids and oxygen-consuming wastes remaining in sewage after it has undergone primary treatment. The most common methods of secondary treatment are the activated sludge process and the trickling filtration process. Tertiary treatment may include chemical treatment, microscopic screening and radiation treatment to make effluent safer to discharge into waterways or the sea.The water is sent through a waste plant where all waste and bacteria is removed and then filtered to make sure its clean and lastly add salt if its going to sea or a saltwater lake.It's treated just like all wastewater from homes, and is virtually never "discharged into the sea"Waste water is drained from the house through sewage pipes and collected at a sewage treatment plant.large solid waste is screen out then a chemical is added to cause the fine particles to attract to each other then its allowed to settle in a large tank then air is introduced to promote anaerobic bacteria to thrive its then filtered through sand filters chlorine is added then the water is safe to discharge

What is sewage system?
A sewage system is the method used to get rid of household toilet waste. Many homes are drained out to the main sewer pipe under the streets, then pumped to local sewage and purification stations run by the township. -In rural and farming areas most homes are served by a private septic tank in which the sewage settles and is aerobically consumed, while waste water is drained or pumped to a 'septic field' where it gradually soaks into the soil.
What are sources of the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes?
This bacteria can be carried by many animals and birds, and it has been found in soil, water, sewage, and animal feed.
Are sewage tanks good for the environment?
As long as sewage tanks do not leak, they make no difference to the environment. Many homes across north America are not on municipal sewer and therefore have to have sewage tanks to separate waste before the black water goes to the septic field. In good shape these do not hurt the environment.
