How do municipal water systems work? How does a house on top of a hill have water pressure, but the house at the bottom of the valley isn’t overrun with sewage?
In: Engineering
Water pressure is supplied by use of water towers and/or large pumps in pumping stations. Sewage systems are built to create pressure pulling away from homes, feeding sewage downhill to lower points than homes, use of reservoirs to freely fill with overflow rather than have it fill up and back up into homes. May also be valves that can be closed off within the system.
