Whenever we conduct workshops on the basics of sewage treatment systems and talk about incorporating pumps, it leads to a discussion of what to tell people to do when the power goes out. If you live in a rural area, you recognize it’s not a question of if the power will go out but when and for how long. Most outages are for a matter of a few hours, but there are times when the power is out for several days to a week or more. It is these longer outages that cause concern for our treatment systems.Our first reaction
