What is a Sewage Pump Station?
There are many sewage pumping stations throughout Rockhampton Regional Council area. Each of these pumps plays a very important role in taking the raw sewage from your neighbourhood to the treatment plant. Sometimes there can be a major problem at one of these stations and if a problem goes unreported, sewage entering the pumping station may overflow and spill into your local creeks and waterways causing environmental problems. What causes a pump station to stop? Sewage pumping stations stop working because • They are blocked up with foreign items flushed down the toilet • There has been an electricity blackout. DON’T BLOCK THE SYSTEM It’s no fun having a blocked toilet. For your own sake, please don’t flush the following items down the toilet: • Tampons • Sanitary Pads • Disposable • Nappies • Condoms • Tissues Please dispose of these products THE RIGHT WAY! To dispose these products correctly, wrap the product and place in the nearest bin. PUMP STATION LOCATIONS Rockhampton Sewage Ne
