Module 5.7 My Sewage Facilities

    There are two wastewater treatment facilities in Roseville, CA. One of which is designated as a regional facility that purifies water for residences and businesses in west Placer. The City of Roseville's Wastewater Utility is responsible for operation and maintenance of all wastewater facilities owned by the city. This facility is responsible for the Publicly Owned Treatment Works, the wastewater collection system, the water quality lab and the recycled water utility. The Wastewater Collection Division is responsible for the management, operation, maintenance, and capacity assurance of the city of Roseville'ssanitary sewer collection system. The wastewater utility system encourages "living sewer smart." The city of Roseville informs its residents how to save their pipes and protect the sewer system. The three practices they encourage are to properly dispose of fats, oils, and grease; avoid disposable disinfectant wipes, baby wipes, and even "flushable" wipes; and not planting tree roots near sewer pipes.

Below is a great resource on living sewer smart:  https://cityofroseville.hosted.civiclive.com/cms/One.aspx?portalId=7964922&pageId=9788336

    Thanks for sharing the useful tips. I have learned so much about the environment and in return am reducing the harmful effects of flushing items that do not dissolve and can create plumbing issues. Only #1, #2, and toilet paper should be flushed. Many people are unaware of this. I visited the Santa Clara water treatment plant and saw all the items people were flushing and it had to be fished out by technicians because it would not dissolve. Yuck!

    There's a growing market for flushable products and it'll be interesting to see what other changes that will motivate for these treatment facilities.
