LMKP “Lvivvodokanal” emphasizes: sewerage is not a garbage dump! Every day, the company’s employees make trips to clear sewage networks of blockages. Communal workers have to pull leftover food, personal hygiene products, shoes, clothes, rags, building materials, tires, etc. from the sewers in Lviv. As a result, the pipes become clogged, in some places so that they cannot be cleaned without special equipment.
“In addition to branches, leaves, or silt, which enter the system naturally, among the latest such finds of utility workers are rags, bottles, vegetables and fruits, shoes and clothes, plastic bags, and even car tires.
All this settles or gets stuck in sewage networks. And the garbage that did not settle in the collectors, in large quantities, enters the city’s sewage treatment plants, provoking an unnecessary load on the equipment and additional electricity costs for Lvivvodokanal LMKP.
We emphasize: the toilet and sink are not a garbage container! Improper operation of the sewage system leads to clogging of pipelines; complication of the operation of the technological equipment of the centralized drainage system; leakage of wastewater on the street, in basements and residential premises”, – emphasizes Lvivvodokanal LMKP.
The rules for using sewers are very simple. Therefore, Lviv residents ask:
always separate solid waste and dispose of it separately from liquid waste;
do not throw food waste into the sewage system;
do not pour fats that accumulate on the walls of pipes, gradually narrowing their diameter, into toilets and sinks;
do not pour combustible substances into the sewer;
sand, stones and other construction materials should not enter the sewer riser;
do not throw personal hygiene products, rags, plastic bags and other household waste into the sewer;
do not be lazy to take out the garbage in the places designated for this, and not in the nearest open rain receiver.
We remind you that LMKP “Lvivvodokanal” provides repair and maintenance of the street sewage network. If the sewage blockage happened inside the house, in the basement or on the house annex, then the residents should contact the management company, condominium or apartment building or the emergency dispatching services of the city.
