	NRDC: Sewage Pollution Threatens Public Health
		Untreated sewage carries a dangerous cargo of infectious bacteria, viruses, parasites and toxic chemicals.
		Raw sewage is supposed to be carried to wastewater treatment plants for processing.
		Yet our sewage collection systems -- 200 years old in places -- are plagued by broken, leaking or overloaded pipes that allow untreated sewage to be released directly into the environment on a routine basis.

	Sewage Treatment
		The goal of sewage treatment systems is to reduce the concentrations of organic pollutants in raw sewage such that the clarified waste can be discharged into natural bodies of water without disrupting the ecosystem.
		The sewage is continually circulated through trickle filters housed in "biotowers" or "activated growth units" where redwood slats are stacked and act as substrates for the attachment and growth of layers of aerobic, heterotrophic microorganisms.
		The liquid sewage is sprayed over the slats to enhance aerobic conditions, and the organic compounds are broken down as the sewage trickles past the microbes growing on the slats.

	Herlisil in Sewage Applications (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Sewage odours are of course, not a new problem and many control techniques have been evaluated or utilised to date.
		Where sewage is retained in the reticulation system, for sufficient time to deplete all dissolved oxygen, the resultant anaerobic conditions promote the growth of sulphate reducing bacteria, which in turn oxidises sulphate to sulphide.
		For this reason each individual sewage system must be evaluated on its own merits, as the most cost effective method of treating the raw sewage will depend on several influencing factors associated with design and hydraulics of the system in question.

	Sewage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sewage is the liquid waste produced by humans which typically contains washing water, faeces, urine, laundry waste and other liquid or semi-liquid wastes from households and industry.
		Sewage collection and disposal is usually done via a system of sewer pipes (sewers) called sewerage, and sometimes via a cesspool emptier.
		Sewage treatment is the process of removing the contaminants from sewage to produce liquid and solid (sludge) suitable for discharge to the environment or for reuse.

	Raw sewage spill was massive, reports say - Roanoke.com
		Sewage spills during heavy rains have been a chronic problem ever since, prompting the ongoing multimillion-dollar effort to improve the system.
		Norman Auldridge, DEQ deputy regional director in Roanoke, said that although the sewage was diluted by storm water, it is still classified as raw sewage under state and federal regulations.
		The sewage spills are caused by storm water overtaxing the sewage system, tree roots breaking aging pipelines, sporadic blockages, and homes' gutters being incorrectly hooked into the public wastewater system.

	NRDC: Swimming in Sewage - Executive Summary
		These raw sewage overflows, occurring primarily during wet weather, spill into our recreational and drinking water, into groundwater, and directly onto private property, often in the form of basement backups.
		Enforce current sewage treatment plant requirements instead of allowing wet weather discharges of inadequately treated sewage: Sanitary sewer overflows are illegal, yet the EPA estimates that the number of these overflows is growing.
		Sewage authorities, local governments, and states with the highest number and volume of overflows nationally or regionally would likely be spurred to action to get out of the public spotlight.

	Raw sewage spills into Ala Wai Canal - The Honolulu Advertiser - Hawaii's Newspaper
		City crews spilled about 800 gallons of raw sewage into the Ala Wai Canal yesterday while switching on a bypass conduit designed to carry wastewater through a pipe sunk in the canal to the treatment plant.
		Even a small release of untreated sewage is a reminder of the 48 million gallons of sewage pumped into the canal last March and the problems that still loom with Honolulu's aging sewer system.
		While crews are working to repair the broken line, diesel-powered pumps will force the raw sewage into the temporary pipe to avoid the cracked pipe and the pump station.

	CDNN :: Raw Sewage Killing Coral Reefs Around Virgin Islands
		Coral reefs are far more likely to develop disease and die when exposed to bacteria and nutrients in raw sewage than coral in unpolluted areas, according to a study published last month in the Puerto Rico-based Caribbean Journal of Science.
		In the St. Croix town of Frederiksted, where untreated sewage was regularly released during the study that started in 2001, nearly 30 percent of coral was infected with two main coral diseases -- fl-band and white plague, which can kill a foot-long (0.3-meter) coral colony in a week.
		Only about 10 percent of sewage in the Caribbean and Central America is treated before being discharged into the sea, according to the scientists.

	EPA Backs Off on Allowing More Raw Sewage to be Dumped in America's Waterways
		Proponents defend the proposal on the grounds that the blended sewage must still meet federal and state discharge standards and that fully treating wastewater during peak flows is too costly.
		Upgrading sewage treatment plants to handle peak flows is one alternative that could please both sides, but the cost is a major concern.
		Congressman Frank Pallone, a New Jersey Democrat who co-sponsored the amendment and a companion bill "Save Our Waters from Sewage Act," said in a floor statement that passing the amendment was essential to ensure that the EPA does not propose a similar policy in the future.

	Canada Flushes Raw Sewage into the Ocean
		Canada flushes some 200 billion liters of raw sewage directly into natural waterways every year, from the St. Lawrence River to the Strait of Juan de Fuca and the Pacific Ocean.
		The sewage is a mixture of water, human waste, microorganisms, toxic chemicals, heavy metals, excreted pharmaceuticals and, potentially, pathogens such as cholera, typhoid and hepatitis B. It is widely recognized that inadequate or no waste water treatment has negative impact on aquatic life, human uses of water, fisheries and human health.
		Not only does Victoria pump its raw sewage directly into the Strait of Juan de Fuca, an arm of the Pacific Ocean, but city officials also claim they are doing the “right and responsible thing” for their community and the environment.

	Pasco: As raw sewage leaked, utility fumbled

		The sewage might have been diverted to another plant, a lift station powering the flow through the utility's web of pipes was down, or there was a leak.

	Milwaukee Dumps Raw Sewage In Lake Michigan for 19 Hours (WI)

		That wastewater skipped at least one major stage of treatment, although all of the 75 million gallons was at least disinfected with chlorine and mixed with fully treated effluent before being discharged.
		Sewage dumping from local sewer lines also was reported by three municipalities this week: Milwaukee, Wauwatosa and West Allis, said Jim Fratrick, a Department of Natural Resources watershed expert.

		The Environment Agency said 600,000 tonnes of untreated sewage overflowed into the river as London's Victorian-era sewers were overwhelmed by torrential rains that brought chaos to parts of the city on Tuesday night.
		The agency said the discharge had killed thousands of fish in the Thames which was declared dead due to pollution in the 1960s but is now reputedly the cleanest urban river in Europe.
		But environmentalists have long complained that the city's ageing sewer system - which carries both foul sewage and excess rainfall - is in disrepair, outdated and increasingly unable to cope with both the rising population and climate change.

		From there, the sewage can flow by gravity to the remainder of the facility.

	RAW SEWAGE FLOW MEASUREMENTS
		A large national sewage company’s consultant contacted EESIFLO for the measurement of RAW sewage pipes using clamp on transit time flowmeters.
		Although able to measure the flow in the large pipe, he noticed that at this time the signal strength was exceptionally weak and so he waited for several hours to see what would happen during higher flow rates at times when more sewage was being discharged or when it was raining.
		During the lunch hours, the signal was lost completely and it was evident that the pipe contained large amounts of suspended solids with air bubbles trapped in the solids moving through the conduit..
