sewerage systems.

[bigpaul]

i was wondering in the event of TSHTF say if the power has gone out, does anyone know how long the sewerage system would work? if the sheeple keep using the toilets how long before the sh1t backs up the pipes? if this happens-we all need to get out fast-right???

That's a good poiNt! Can't loos be unscrewed from the base and then be capped off in some way? Might be worth figuring out how to do it me thinks

dont know, but even if capped off it wouldnt stop it back filling, i have seen a blocked drain full of you know what lift a heavy manhole cover! and the smell would make your eyes water....sorry!

Urrrrrrrrrgh! Hopefully some clever person here may be able to shed light! All ideas of bugging in could be squashed if the house began to fill with 'you know what' ! Hmm

Not long, not only are ALL the UKs sewage and effluent treatment electric pumped, but also like 90% of the drinking water much of the waste water and sewage systems are pumped requiring electricity.
Tis the foolish prepper who lives at the bottom of the hill or between the town and the sewage works. In London the pumped sewage system fill up about every 24 hours requiring the effluent to be pumped to the treatment works, after that its get your wellies out.

Dont forget that in many cities because of age etc many sewer pipes are only about 18 inches deep, compared to many modern developments where gravity can be used the drop is six feet.

I think the novel / movie Deluge by Richard Doyle addresses this issue in part of his book about Londonabad being overwhelmed by a Storm Surge.

Ive been pondering this problem for a while. Live in semi detached house with a seperate sewer running next to my neighbours sewer system. I could easily block mine, but if neighbour dose not agree to do his then it would be in my garden as well.

To be honest this would be one of biggest problems of bugging in a built up area. It would be the biggest factor in having to move location. Come the day you would need to get your neighbours on side within 24 hours otherwise you would be really in the S**T. As we all know thats not going to happen with your standard sheeple.

Just noted the movie FLOOD which is the film version of Deluge I think is on Scy Fy thiis weekend, Robert Carlyle good story of London being flooded.

If I remember right, Flood is a two part mini series. It was on BBC a while ago. It's a good story.

Thats the one, with the guy of Stargate universe in the lead, the book and the movie are both good.
