Here’s a little refresher — sewer systems are designed for sanitation. When functioning properly, it’s a network of underground pipes, manholes, and pumping stations that direct a safe and leak-free flow of wastewater flushed throughout your daily cooking, cleaning, and showering outside your home.
This cycle of water supply and waste disposal allows the plumbing system to deliver clean, potable water. Your home’s sewers are connected to the city’s main lines, which direct the wastewater collected to treatment plants where they are refined for a safe return to the environment.
