sewage system
A sewage system is a network of pipes, tanks, and treatment facilities designed to transport and treat wastewater from households and businesses. When water is used in sinks, toilets, and showers, it becomes dirty and is carried away through drains. This wastewater travels through underground pipes to a sewage treatment plant, where it undergoes processes to remove contaminants. After treatment, the clean water can be safely released back into the environment or reused. Proper sewage systems are essential for public health, preventing pollution, and maintaining clean water in our communities.
