Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 DEF
A hybrid between a septic tank and a conventional sewerage system. Its distinctive feature is a solid intercept or tank located between the house sewer and the street sewer. The intercept or tank retains the solids, thereby allowing smaller sewers to be laid at flatter gradients and with fewer manholes. 2, record 1, English, - effluent%20sewerage
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 DEF
A low-cost alternative sewage treatment for cities in poor countries that combines some features of septic systems and centralized municipal treatment systems. A septic tank near each residence collects and processes solid wastes--and must be pumped periodically just like a septic tank--while liquid effluent is collected and piped to a central treatment plant. This avoids drainfields in urban areas and yet allows sewer pipes and treatment plants to be downsized, saving money. 3, record 1, English, - effluent%20sewerage
