"Good post Lee. Just one little point that I'd clear up with you to avoid confusuon when you post in future or if you're writing to anyone. Sewerage is the pipework and gubbins that takes away the cr*p that we generate, sewage if the cr*p that we generate and pollutes the rivers when it's released untreated. I offer that in the spirit of friendship as it looked like your were confusing one with the other. "
Some official information.
Sewage is the waste matter carried off by sewer drains and pipes. Sewerage refers to the physical facilities (e.g., pipes, lift stations, and treatment and disposal facilities) through which sewage flows.
You are right Jeff so thanks for that. You say tomato and I say tomato as the song goes but I'm originally from the mean streets of Nottingham when said subject is rarely referred to as sewage or sewerage but something entirely different.
Once upon a time there was MP who told the truth who's father was a banker and his father was an estate agent who's uncle sold used cars and double glazing in a land far far away where solicitors asked a fair price for their services.
Its not only Peter Pan who lives in never never land Jeff.
Regards,
Lee.

And yes Steph,
According to Waterwise, every person in the UK uses 150 litres of water per day. And if you add "embedded water" to that,( water that is required to produce the food and products we consume in our day to day lives) its as as much as 3,400 litres per day. Clearly, industry is the biggest consumer of water?
Did you know that the UK has less available water than most other European countries?
It is estimated that more than 60% of Europe's largest cities consume water faster than it can be replenished.
UN data shows that 70% of global freshwater use is for irrigation, 22% is used by industry and 8% is used in homes.
I cut down on my own personal use of fresh water by drinking more Guinness and Irish Whiskey.

Lee.
