1.0 INTRODUCTION
The community that is focused on this report is called Nobelton and it’s situated within King City at the intersection of Highway 27 & King Road. The sewer services were provided through on-site septic tanks in this community. The purpose of this report is to propose a well-designed sanitary system instead of the septic tanks for the distribution of sewer services at Wellington Street conduct an assessment of possibility of connecting it to existing sanitary systems on Ellis Avenue. Ellis Avenue already has an existing sewer system and the trunk, which has enough capacity to withhold new sewer system connection. The proposal was proposed due to the problems such as septic tank leakage, sanitary system reliability amongst subdivisions and due to the effects that are cause by septic tanks when placed on an environment.
When developing a subdivision, execution of sanitary sewer systems is a critical component. This new sanitary system is to be implemented in Nobelton where the subdivisions have a septic tank and do not contain proper sewer systems. Due to the increase in number of dwelling units in the area, a well-designed sanitary system is required to avoid the septic tank failures. By designing a new well-designed sanitary system instead of on-site septic tanks will help in eliminating the environmental problems such as the leakage of sewer contents into the surroundings as a result of failure and aging of septic of septic tanks. Septic tanks also considered as an outdated technology that is no longer effective due to modern technology and its high cost and difficulties of maintenance.

If I were Holbrook my initial goal would be to correct the water and sanitary sewer systems problem. I believe it is the community responsibility to pay for the up-keep and maintenance of the two facilities, because it is the community who is reaping the benefits of these facilities. I would recommend the council to combine the sewer (330,800) and water (158,090) expenditures to the sewer (113,000) and water (379,350) capital program expenditures, and incorporate the two as one revenue fee. This would allow the revenue fees to pay for the operating cost and the reconstruction cost of the two facilities. Making them one fee would give the council more leeway in increasing total revenue cost for these services. In general, people tend to see one bill instead of two as a deal instead of a problem. This is almost like the buy one get one free philosophy; you know the store has raise the price of the item you are purchasing so that you are paying for the item you’re getting free. The propose revenue fee would total 648,170. The 700 water customers and the 3000 sewer customers would pay for this fee. Assuming that the 700 water customers were already included in the 3000 sewer customers, the total customer for the two services would equal 2300. I would divide the total re...

In this image, a sewage worker is seen cleaning the drainage system, with his bear hands, without the use of either any equipment’s or protection. On the first glace, the image depicts the idea of health risk, because the man is exposed to such contaminants, which for him is work. He is looking up from a dirty drain, covered in filth, which shows that he is clearly used as the subject of this image, whom we are engaged to more as he is making eye contact with its viewers. This picture only includes one person into the frame, as the other man’s face isn’t available to see in this picture, which is man that is holding the bucket. Holding a bucket either emphasise the idea that he is helping the sewage worker, either to get the dirt out or to put the dirt in the drainage system.

Before the 19th Century, sewage disposal was virtually unknown until the first American cities were built around the 1700’s. Human waste was originally disposed of in the woods, but some wealthy Virginians built large houses and used chamber pots to "do their business" indoors, and the contents would be thrown into the back yard. Later, as towns developed, waste was tossed into the streets to decompose or be washed away in the rainstorms (Virginia Places, 2010). Privies or outhouses were also built in back yards and were commonly used to dispose of waste. Toilets, also known as “water closets,” were put into homes in the mid 19th Century in the United States. The water closet had indoor plumbing where piping was run through the roof, and a gravity ...
Above ground upgrades included roadway improvements, intersections, curbs and gutters, sidewalks, benches lights and trees. In 2016, the City was allocated $20,000,000.00 in Municipal Sustainability Initiative for Phase 1 & 2 of this project and additional funding through Aquaterra for water and sanitary infrastructure replacement. Phase one was scheduled to take two months (weather pending) to complete. Council recognized that the infrastructure improvement/repairs were imperative to service delivery, council was very split on the beautification element.

The key stakeholders are Peter Vyas, the manager of filtration unit and Cynthia Jackson who is the vice president of water management division. Vyas was convinced that the survival of the unit depended upon innovative growth and thus he appointed a technology evaluation team with the responsibility of using technology to solve the problem of obtaining clean water in remote regions, by developing a small-scale oxidation system that enabled waste-water disinfection in small batches. His utmost concern is the technological aspect of developing the product. On the other hand, Cynthia’s perspective was shaped by the marketing angle of the product. She recommended the development of future proposals using a rigorous three phase process which links the markets analysis and technological development to busines...
One of the key factors of Richmond, Virginia is the James River. The James River has been a part of Virginia’s history from way before the first settlers, and before it was even Virginia, up until present day. A problem the James River has faced is that some businesses abused it. Back then, the manufacturing plants on the James did not care or realize the harm that occurs when they persistently dumped waste into the James. Since the James is such a huge factor in Richmond, it is imperative to keep it clean and healthy. All that the James has provided us with, it isn’t fair the way it has been treated in the past.
Many of the poorer Brazilians are not provided with proper sanitation in the rural areas. Between 1988 and 1993 ninety-five percent of the urban population had adequate water supply and only 61 percent of the rural population had access to an adequate water supply. Many rural dwellers had to depend upon wells and privies and not service for their disposal system and the urban population received service. Housing i...
To a person walking down the street in downtown Indianapolis, he may be a hero because of his occupation, a civil engineer. What can a civil engineer do that is so heroic? For one, he designs the cities’ sewage system. People in the city cannot comprehend how vital it is to constitute a correctly piped sewage system. His designs transfer the cities’ waste to a safe place, so it can decompose in peace, and not endanger our health or our environment. He is not only protecting the Earth from harmful materials, he is also keeping our water clean a...
Also the land has to perk which means the land is not too wet and is safe for a structure and allows a septic tank to be installed that will function properly.
As the result of urbanization, cities have more problems to overcome such as pollution, overpopulation, drug abuse, congestion, crime, poverty, traffic jam, slum areas, and many more. There must be something to solve these problems. Government and citizens should be involved because taking care of city problems can’,t be done entirely by government. The community can be even more successful because it deals directly with problem areas.
Sustainable development can solve problems of environmental damage, or in other words, pollution. For example, water pollution is severe nowadays. Waste water was continually discharged from factories, with poisonous chemicals running with it. Considering the aim of sustainable development, we can come upon some ideas to deal with the problem. First, sewage system should be improved during the development so that drinking water can gain more purity. Furthermore, rain water can be separated from industrial and domestic water, it should go through another system so that people can harness it more effectively and properly. The emission of waste water, which contains organophosphorus pesticide, should also be restricted, for they pollute water heavily and harm not only fish and aquatic animals but also people use the polluted water. Air pollution caused by over urbanization are among the most severe problems...
Pipeline transport is the use of pipes to convey various products from one point to another. These pipes can be made up of metal, plastic or even ceramic. It is efficient in transporting petroleum and natural gases over long distances. It is also convenient and economical in transporting petroleum and natural gases when compared to truck and rail modes of transport. It allows for the transport of large volumes of the commodity (Clifford
