Do you throw your wet wipes down the loo? Well this is for you! Our wastewater system is being clogged with masses of wet wipes from people flushing them.
It’s vital the discharged water from our sewage management process is clean enough to ensure not only the health of the environment, but of the animals living in it and surrounding human populations.
It’s hard to imagine what wastewater management was like in the ACT before the Lower Molonglo Water Quality Control Centre (LMWQCC), added much needed quality to Canberra’s treatment process back in the late 70’s.
What is wastewater? A bit of a silly name for something that isn’t actually wasted. All of the wastewater (or sewage) that we collect is treated and returned to the environment. How is it different to sewerage? Sewerage is the infrastructure that carries our wastewater (or sewage) from your home or work to our treatment plants.
