now that’s a dirty job. Hope someone got overtime for that.
Sounds like there’s a “dirty job” story here that might interest Mike Rowe.
Holy Sh!t! Talk about a job you couldn’t pay me enough to do. I wouldn’t do that for all of Trump’s net worth.
Diving down 80 feet in raw sewage, pitch black, stinkier than, well, you know. Feeling your way by your hands to dislodge used wipes. My God, could there possibly be a worse occupation?
80 feet down? When they go low, I go high.
From what I understand, hand wipes contain plastic and don’t degrade. The ones that are designed to flushed can be flushed and they’ll degrade.

Those packages say “flushable” but they are NOT.
The findings from London fatberg’s ‘autopsy’ are horrifying
I downloaded, and watched this program after it aired...it was disgusting.
Was there some event in the area that caused significant increase in use of butt wipes that normal TP could not handle?
“Flushable” wipes are not “Flushable” unless they specifically state on the package that they are “Flushable”. “Flushable” wipes are supposed to dissolve but “Non-Flushable” wipes do NOT.
People who Flush non-flushable wipes should be sentenced to perforn this disgusting task!
Bad system design. Blamed on customers. Typical.
They normally have to be pumped every four to seven years.
However if you do not flush wipes, feminine hygiene products or grease you can go over eleven years and your tank will be ok.
That is what the people who owned the house before us did.
We had the system pumped and the guy said that if they had just used the monthly enzymes treatment it would not have been necessary to pump it even then.
‘Fatberg’ the size of a bus clogs London sewer - video

Sewage treatment plants are not generally known as water works. I hope this is a reporting error.
Some of the wipes claim to be flushable, but a plumber told me he is getting rich off of that fairy tale.
I can understand why people want to use these wipes, they’re definitely more sanitary than dry toilet paper. But they really are not flushable, as the plumber informed me after members of my household managed to clog the sewer line from my house with them. The solution I found was an electric toilet bidet, as is commonly used in Japan - doesn’t cost much to buy or install, sprays water after you use the toilet and then uses warm air to dry you off, and leaves you a lot cleaner than toilet paper ever has or will.
These are made of water-soluble cellulose. Disintegrates after 24 hours.
