Sewage Field

Sewage and spills are potable water drained into the sewage pipes after being used in either residences or in industry.

The transportation of sewage is performed via a system of underground pipes, which are intended to drain sewage from the private network, transfer them to the municipal network and from there to sewage pumping stations.

In these stations, the sewage undergoes initial treatment, and are then pumped into the sewage purification plant, where the water undergoes a secondary purification process before being returned to agricultural uses.
