We usually think about how pure the water that flows from our taps is, but none of us thinks how complicated and important the work of people in this profession is. People who clean sewer pipes in Russia are paid from 30,000 rubles a month. For this work in our country, you must first of all not be afraid to get dirty, as well as be able to swim and have basic knowledge of biochemistry. In this article, we will tell you about a man who works as a sewer cleaner. His name is George, and his wife demands that he always undress before entering the house.
Hard work
This is quite hard work, because daily cleaners have to see dirty diapers, vomit, urine, pads, rags, and so on, in a word, everything that gets into the sewer. According to George, he has long been accustomed to the putrefactive smell, since for twenty-two years he has been working to clean up the sewage system.
But his family will probably never be able to adapt to this. After all, Olga’s wife is unhappy with her husband’s profession and makes him undress before he crosses the threshold of his own house.
Invaluable work
According to statistics, sewage workers treat three billion liters of wastewater daily. We are all used to clean water. But few people wonder what such a pleasure is and what kind of work the workers put in to achieve such a result. They constantly have to deal with various problems. The main one is a corrosive disgusting smell, which is difficult to wash off.
George, telling about his work, admits that he can smell a little at the dinner table, but his family and millions of people across the country can not worry about the clean water that flows from the tap thanks to his work and many other workers like him. He also shares that only fifty percent of information about work is worth telling at the table, and it’s best not to raise the rest for discussion at dinner at all.
Wastewater, which is formed as a result of the life of millions of people, goes to the largest sewage treatment plants, where George and his colleagues every day face serious clogging.
What not to find in wastewater
George says that his friend Oleg is engaged in cleaning the sewer near the prison. It turns out that prisoners quite often throw unusual things into her, as a result of which the pipes are blocked. For example, among the waste you can find oranges, which are used for the illegal preparation of beer. In addition, you can stumble on nails in the water, various rag things, and so on.
Thus, we owe the presence of clean water in the tap to these unique workers who are not afraid of dirt, unpleasant odors and every day do everything so that we enjoy a pleasant shower in the morning.
