Question

how liquid wastes are disposed of in small cities

Answer 1

Liquid wastes in small cities r discharge in water bodies such as river ponds and lakes.

Answer 2

The Environmental Services and Operations Departments have responsibilities for maintenance and upkeep of the City's sewage system: 1,544 km of sanitary and storm sewers, 2 sewage treatment plants and 32 pumping stations located throughout the City of Windsor.

Sewer back-ups are key problems that damage infrastructure and can affect public health.

Back-ups of sewage can occur when the sewer lines are clogged with a build up of fats, oil and greases (FOG). In order to work effectively, sewage systems need to be in proper working order from the drain to the City's treatment plants. Normal sanitary waste can be handled without difficulty. However, FOG waste builds up on sewer walls causing blockages in the sewer system. For this reason, FOG should not be disposed of down the drain.

The City of Windsor needs everybody to do their part to maintain the sewer system so that repairs will not be disruptive to residents or businesses.
