This is what I love about RUclips. Im in my basement randomly looking at the sewer pipe thinking I'm on the side of a hill, and I believe the sewage treatment plant is on the other side of this hill. And even if it's not, not every sewage treatment plant could possibly be on the lowest portion of buildable land. They couldn't possibly dig all of our sewage through the middle of this mountain. How would it Go uphill to get over? Not even sure why I was thinking about that, I am no engineer, just an average mechanic. But whatever, I guess our minds are always going LOL but anyways this was exactly the video I was looking for, thank you very much
Well.... i might be crazy but sewer looks like a hoax to me.... in order to make sewer to works on slope gravity you will need in some areas to dig deep deep down and there is no excavators that can dig that deep... now using pumps as this video suggests i never seen sewer pipes in my life.
@@cwuzii All I know is I remember an interview with a guy whose job was to unclog sewers, and he said that “flushable wipes” are bullshit and cause clogs in sewers all the time.
My wife and I were having a very productive conversation about what happens to our dookie after we flush the commode. Well what do you know, there are several videos about sewage and 💩💩💩 and where the little fellas end up at. Very informative video.
This is a nice primer for how sanitary sewer works, only part that grinds my gears as a stormwater nerd.... you showed storm drainage pipes & inlets a few times but the topic is highly pointed to sanitary sewer that is most the time completely separate systems.
Awesome vid. My question is, how did this all get installed in ancient cities like those in Europe where the infrastructure hasn’t changed much in a very long time? (Venice, for example)
The sewer systems are near rivers, they linked them with bored out the center wood or concrete ( ancient rome) n it flowed out (usually) from the river out to sea
@@rockit2017 The industry in North America still mainly works with the imperial system. 25mm for every inch will give you the nominal size in metric units.
Nice work! I think Sewer pump stations are often located away from people because they tend to smell....but they are often located near houses in any case...I’ve not heard of one exploding!
Thanks! Yeah the smell can be dangerous and that's why they're usually not close... the explosions do happen though and I included them for some dramatic flare :)
If sludge is used for fertilzer for the farming of food products, how do they remove the toxic chemicals used in products such as laundry detergent, drain cleaners/uncloggers and so on?
what a great video! I work for a civil engineering firm doing drawings. I worked on drawings for a lift station not having a clue what a "Lift station" is haha.
Fantastic! I’m a civil engineer, I worked as a drafter on the same stuff for about a year but went the marketing route. I now work for a CAD company (likely the software you use for civil drafting) but do RUclips on the side 🙂 oh and thank you by the way✌🏻
@@ConcerningReality yup, im a drafter too. I have previously worked doing electrical substation drawings and I finally got into Civil with my current job. I got to say I like civil engineering a whole lot more!
I have a graden with couple of holes on the group , one of them is bigger and deeper My dogs tennis ball went inside and I cannot see it Is this dangerous??
But i dont get.,,when and how these pipes which transform the shit were made?how long are they? If each house connects with these pipes then each pipe would consists of thousands of kilometers!!can you explain this to me please?
typically your house sewer pipe will connect to a larger pipe on your street that will pickup the shit from your neighborhood and that pipe will carry to a larger pipe until eventually it reaches the WWTP. these pipes are installed prior to the construction of the roadway & houses that it services.
This narrator is wrong. Let me explain; I work in sewer maintenance And I have never once serviced a sewer at a house over 4in. And it's always 6in or 8in in the street until you go MUCH MUCH farther down the line until it reaches 3 to 5ft or sometimes larger. Thanks
@@ConcerningReality Good video, but I've worked as a waterworks salesman in multiple municipalities and residential sewer service lines are 6" on the big side, 4-5" is standard.
The sewers are installed at a slope underground, additionally It’s not as flat as it seems, any degree of change over a vast distance can be enough to direct flow in a given direction. 🙂
@@ConcerningReality There must be numerous pumping stations in my town. To bury sewer lines at a downward pitch over the length of my street, the pipe would have to go 10' deep at one end. And it would still be miles from the treatment plant.

They have lift stations. Practical engineering shows very good videos on the subject.
Oh... I just got to the part of the video showing lift stations.
Don’t flush wipes!!!!! They cause the majority of the problems that sewer maintenance workers have to deal with; plugged sewers & ragged pumps.
Flushable wipes are fine.
@@cwuzii No. They say that but they are wrong. Those get clogged too.
@@captainjackpugh6050 how can they put it on the packaging if it’s not true? Isn’t false advertising illegal?

Best explanation I've listened to yet.
One guy I listened to just talked about stuff that had nothing to do with his subject.
That’s what I try to do with this channel ✌🏻
Learned something new in Covid-19X era.
I'm from the future
wow,you saved my life. needed to know this stuff in short time and found your video

Thanks for delivering such an exciting video. I hope to see more great videos like this in the future and keep the good work going on.
Very easy to watch, very clear
Good to hear!

Lol yeah, I unfortunately had limited copyright free video to work with. I guess people don’t find sewer systems as fascinating as we do? 😂
I never flush the wipes. They don't dissolve fast enough and cause the system to back up. It's best to just throw them away. Thanks for this video.
Live the video! Clear, concise and to the point! Thank you for sharing
Thanks for the explanation. It was easy to understand
You deserve so many more subs dude. Liked, shared and subscribed. very high quality and detailed content
Thank you! One day we'll get more.. aiming for that 100k ;)
Yes😊
I contributed to this video. Thank you very much !
Good presentation, animation and information.
Any Civil engineers here ..thumps up folks he is one of us..
Love these videos! The animation is great! Hope to see more like this soon!
Thanks! New vids every Monday✌🏻🙂
i was watching you expecting a 10 million subs or something but you will get there just keep the really good work .
Thanks! We literally just hit 10k 20 minutes ago. Hopefully we keep on growing!🤞🏻

Nice video :) I don't know how much of your viewers live outside of America, but it'd be easier for me to have metric units next to the imperial ones.
Ah! We try to do that on every video but I guess it got left out on this one 😕 next time!😉
@@ConcerningReality I see ^^ Since this is one of the first videos I've watched on this channel I missed out on that. :) Thanks for your reply

As always... Nice presentation.... 👍
Nope! Brand new video. We have another video on how wastewater treatment plants work.
Thanks gorav!🙂
Thanks for sharing

Thank you!
I truly and sincerely respect the people who have to put up with this Sh#T! 🙏

I want to see the outlet. How it connect to water body. Is it designed to submerge or outfall.
Useful video
This is just a great concept. Unfortunately in my country we don't have a sewage due to poor planning
what country
India needs to see this.
the Indians? you guys in the US pump the purified water back into rivers and lakes... like wtf why? just look at european Wastewater Treatment Plants!
Thank you for awareness 👍👌
6-12 in = 15-30 cm
I helped with this video
Wow just wow
What does the treatment plant do
Nice useful Vedic thanks
I have a graden with couple of holes on the group , one of them is bigger and deeper
My dogs tennis ball went inside and I cannot see it
Is this dangerous??
Humans are f’n amazing
Good vid, but would have been nice to touch on vacuum sewage systems.
Awesome video.
Thanks!
really miraculous!
3-5 ft = 0.9-1.5 m
0:38 What body part is that?!
so like.. what did we do before we knew how to treat this waste?
It ran through the streets and people died 😬 water 4.0 is a great technical book on the topic if you’re really interested
@@ConcerningReality thank you for the recommendation.
Bhai logo ko hagne ke siwaye aur bhi kaam hote hai.......BTW nice video bro😂😂
Good 😊
Lord.. Lord of Host, see us thru better days... Europe1
And for countryside does the septic tank do just fine.
Your cooking oils/grease don’t go in the drains or sinks either. Unless you want problems later.
Keep going with the content my dude, it's a slow grind but really helpful, I'll be resuming informative vids myself. (Gaming for me)
The hell am I doing here
But I’m glad I am here (:
In our small town on balkans sewer goes to one colecting station and then into a river. Tipical environment pollution.
Yep, sounds about right!
0:20 we still do it in our country 🤣😅 so i opened this video to see if its safe to use the sewage water for my farms crops ???
Sewer are sooo important to
Pps
If theres no sewer it stinks
The end
Thank you witchy man

So that hot steam I put my hands on in the winter is really hot shit..?
In the uk we have an overflow system that in the event of heavy rain will see untreated human waste go directly into the sea.

Me turning up to the KSP music:
PSA: There is no such thing as flushable wipes
Yes, they cause a TON of problems.
Tampons and ginormous turds can flush, but not wipes??
@@rmg2419 tampons are not supposed to go in the toilet either, fecal matter breaks down eventually

Cant they use flammable gas as fuel to generate electricity?
They do often at the wastewater treatment plants! 🙂
Open canal system of old times was much cheaper and far better
Thanks gravity

Use a bum gun!! No wipes and no clogs!
Oh no!
We have to pressurize the poop
It is essential.
👌👌👍👍🔥🔥🔥 nice
Thanks!
I just dropped a huge turd, super thick and dense so I was wondering how it would travel to the treatment plant. - WW
Language Concerning!
Why are kids shows so fast paced? I can barely follow this as an adult.
It makes me laugh the poop emoji🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
No neighbors
you NEED to PRESSURISE the POOP
What about fatbergs?
I live in SW FL. It's flat. Completely flat. So this didn't explain anything.
The sewers are installed at a slope underground, additionally It’s not as flat as it seems, any degree of change over a vast distance can be enough to direct flow in a given direction. 🙂
