Why regularly clean the septic tank and cesspool

Problem

According to Roshydromet The main sources of pollution of large watercourses in the regions are insufficiently treated household and industrial wastewater.which can lead to diseases such as diarrhea, as well as contamination of agricultural land and environmental degradation.

Although there are centralized sewers with pumping stations and treatment facilities in large cities, in Russia, 66.5% of residents living in rural areas do not have centralized sewers. Including 48.1% of families in villages use cesspools, and 18.4% do not have sewerage at all.

Thus, if the owners of septic tanks, cesspools, bio-toilets maintain them improperly: untimely pumping of tanks, preventive work to clean the walls and bottom of fecal sludge can lead to overflow problems and pollution of groundwater, causing deterioration in public health and have a negative impact on the environment.

Therefore, the general goal of the population should be to protect the environment from the disturbance and negative impacts of faecal waste. In a more specific case, this process ensures the separation of solids and liquids, their proper handling and safe disposal.
There are several methods used to treat fecal sludge and remove it from pit latrines and septic tanks or other local sanitation systems.

Manual cleaning

Manual waste collection is still common even after the practice was banned. During manual cleaning, they are lowered into a tank or pit to remove and empty the hardened sediment. This can lead to numerous risks to human health. In addition, the sludge can pose a health hazard to your neighbors as the sludge empties near residential buildings, lanes and drainage systems.

According to manual waste disposal lawwaste should only be emptied by mechanical means. Despite the existence of such regulations, accidents and deaths often occur in Russian cities as a result of manual waste collection.

Sludge treatment with sewage trucks

Sludge removal with sewage trucks and its transportation and disposal is another method used in cities in Russia. However, given the growing population and the amount of waste generated in cities, this is associated with various problems.

1. It is only used when septic tanks fail, or when pit latrines are brimful or overflowing.
2. Mechanical emptying with sewage trucks can be difficult in settlements where narrow streets or tanks are inaccessible where large tank trucks cannot reach.
3. During transportation and disposal, as a rule, waste disposal standards are not observed due to the large distance between the septic tank and a designated area. This problem increases the risk of contact with the waste of our children with unsafe disposed waste on the roads, fields.

The disadvantage of this cleaning method is its price (on average, from 700 rubles per m³), ​​and most people living in Russia cannot afford to call vacuum cleaners regularly without bringing septic tanks to a critical state.
