4. Filtration
The ‘settled sewage’ is sprinkled
onto large circular beds, two
metres deep, filled with stones
or clinker.. bacteria and other
tiny creatures feed on the
organic material. This produces
a sludge which settles out in
special humus tanks.
5. Final Settling Tank
Small and fine particles
settle out leaving the cleaned
water, or effluent, to
flow back into rivers and
streams.
