Origins of sewage..Sewage is created by residences, institutions, and commercial and industrial establishments. Raw influent (sewage) includes household waste liquid from toilets, baths, showers, kitchens, sinks, and so forth that is disposed of via sewers. This is great, in America most of us do not see it, smell it, or think about it. The sewage process is transparent, which is a great thing!
Well, well, we are not so lucky! If one get the right (or wrong) downwind, a strange facial expression will follow. We joked in Boston about the "big dig (10 Billion dollar highway project took 10 years), we said that Boston was the only construction site with its own Airport...well well, Kandahar is the only sewage treatment facility with its own airport!
Early stages of sewer processing will tend to produce smelly gasses, hydrogen sulfide being most common in generating complaints from nearby areas. Yes yes, we complain to one another and aviod walking or driving any where near "Da Poo Pond". Unfortunately, some of the people live within a stone throw away from it.
It could be worst...imagine what it would be like without a sewage treatment facility...see there is always a brite side to any story!

Our sewage plant was a team of hired locals collecting the 45 gallon trash bags from the outhouses and then burning them at far end of the compound...Phew what a strong odor, if you know what I mean,;o)
I'd rather not!!!
