INTRODUCTION
SEWAGE - It is Liquid Waste or Waste
Water produced as a result of water use.
SEWER - It is the pipe or conduit for
carrying sewage. It is generally closed and
flow
takes
place
under
gravity
(Atmospheric Pressure).
SMALL
DIAMETER
EFFLUENT
SEWERS collect septic tank effluent
and convey it to larger sewer mains
which eventually lead to treatment
systems. These may be variable
grade, or include effluent pumping
stations as needed to overcome
gravity.
CONDOMINIAL
SEWERS
incorporate shared branches that
connect groups of homes to sewer
mains
at
strategic
locations.
Condominial branches are often
installed
and
owned
by
the
homeowners and locally maintained
in exchange for reductions in
sewerage fees. Local ownership
helps achieve sustainability.

DESIGN PARAMETERS
The following parameters are the basis for the design of the sewerage collection system
and the wastewater treatment plant specifications:
Volumetric Flowrate In order to determine volumetric flowrate, the following data are
needed: number of households, number of guest rooms, per capita water usage.
Cost effectiveness The system has to be done at the least cost but at the same time
still has to be effective in its intended function.
The septic tank is sized properly with appropriate detention time and volume
There is at least one baffle separating the tank into multiple compartments
There is an access port for each compartment that allows for inspection and
pumping
Concrete is a common material for septic tank construction. Concrete may be poured in
place or as grout-filled hollow blocks. Plastic and fiberglass are also approved
materials. Steel, wood, or other materials that are subject to decomposition in soil should
never be used.
Civil or sanitary engineers are typically responsible for designing septic tanks and
sewage systems. Licensed plumbers may also provide this service in some areas.
Other jurisdictions establish licensing programs that include testing and certification.
There should be oversight by a regulatory body or licensing board through which citizens
are able to register complaints for poor work, errors or omissions.
