A brief background of the sewerage system in the Georgetown area
There are two sewerage systems in Georgetown:
1. Central Georgetown and the Tucville Sewerage System.
In the Central Georgetown Sewerage System there are no treatment processes. This system was designed by Howard Humphrey and Sons and was first commissioned in 1929. The system essentially comprises 24 interlinked sewerage basins each having a network of gravity sewers draining into a single pumping station. The 24 pumping stations deliver the “untreated” flows into a common ring force main then they are discharged to the mouth of the Demerara River via short outfall at Fort Groyen, Kingston.
At least a mile and a half upstream where the fellow swam the Demerara.
In addition the pumps are turned on only when the tide is low, meaning that the river is flowing to the ocean, not the reverse where water is backing up inland.
What a jackass you turned out to be.
The only jackass and liar here is you because you claimed that the sewerage is pumped into the ocean and at Vlissengen Road. You're a country baboo and you know about the back dam so stick to talking about what you know. The pumps at Vlissengen Road pump water to ease flooding. Nothing to do with the sewerage system. When the tide turns, all that shit from GT's 250,000 residents is swirling around and backing up into the Demerara River. Plus all the mess from the Stabroek Market that is dumped into that river. Were you able to tell the difference between the PPP and PNC logs?
