Not bored, but interested. Sewers are cool. I'm perfectly happy to let others keep them working though. The college I went to had a large undeveloped piece of scrubby woodlands behind it. It had larg

Yeah, me too. Especially since it was less than a 20' run, and the only obstacle is the concrete driveway. But they did offer a 10% discount if I would commit within 48 hours <G> And after some dick

Without the driveway work, it should have come in around $2000. If you decide to consider it, get bids from everybody with a license. -- Phil Ethier West Side Saint Paul Minnesota USA 1962 Triumph TR

I think here these are called French wells or dry wells. To get the water down through our clay layer. John John T. Blair WA4OHZ email: jblair1948@cox.net Va. Beach, Va Phone: (757) 495-8229 48 TR180

Not the same thing. A "French Drain" or a "Drywell" is a hole into which water goes to percolate into the soil. A sandrock sewer is an actual sewer. Sanitary sandrocks here carry effluent which event

This is interesting, because New York City's system is still combined. A heavy rain routinely overloads the system and discharges raw sewage into the environment. http://riverkeeper.org/campaign.php/

Seems like the septic/sewer business has some of the best slogans. I guess you have to have a sense of humor. I saw a septic truck that said "This truck carries only American made products". ________

Yes, this is what Saint Paul was doing before we separating our sewers. Sewage crossed dams called "regulators" or "diversions" from combined sewers to storm sewers when the sewers were overcharged i

Chicago also has peregrine falcons, but unlike other cities mentioned, we still use our river as a toilet. In fact, there's a drain immediately underneath the dock where I board the Water Taxi everyd

The Chicago area is in the process of spending a lot of money (something on the order of $10 billion, over 30 or 40 years) to build a bunch of large tunnels to hold the water. The first stage, about
