night wee emptied into sullege point

Kaid · Guru

Should have taken it to the toilet. That's disgusting

KFT · Guru

Either too lazy or has no idea that the sullage point is for grey water only.

Santa · Guru

Most certainly not OK. furious

RosieW · Guru

At one place where we were caretaking, I had to have an emergency shower mid rubbish run. I was wearing gloves, overalls & workbouts but got doused in pee. Why? Because some fool had put a lightweight binliner full of pee in one of the wheelie bins, and the bag burst as I lifted the heavy duty liner (wheelie bin size) out of the bin. The pee bag was near the top, and because I am short, I had tipped the bin over to lift the big bin liner out. Hence, I got soaked. Safe to say, I nearly threw up on the spot.

The sullage point would be plumbed into the town sewerage system I would think.
Towns do not have a separate system for grey water so it is either storm water or sewerage.

Local smell would be the only real issue I would think and a good rinse of the area would get rid of that.

Not that I am condoning or advocating this as a general practice

I would have thought the same. But something that I would never do.

Does the sullage point have a S or P trap? I would have thought so.

This raises the point about semi permanents. I assume that their effulent goes straight into the sullage system. Perhaps via an internal S or P trap.

Isn't it time someone posted some GOOD news instead of this indignant rubbish

If it is connected to sewerage would to ok and would have a trap at the sullage point , But it's not a good look.

Just saw a lady empty her night wee bucket into her sullege drain point instead of walking the 15 metres to the toilet block. Do u think this is ok or should she have emptied into the toilet. Your opinions r valued by me. Kind regards. Rocket

Emptying into toilets is discouraged everywhere I have been, most have dump points for this. Perhaps a quiet word to the manager would be in order?

the rocket · Guru

Hello. Phantom, thankyou for your reply saying my post was indignant rubbish. Have a good day.

Having worked in a van park for 10 years I have seen it all, some parks don't have a sullage drain to sewer or septic but can flow out into bush or Lake as we where beside a lake, only sewerage from toilet blocks where pumped to sewage treatment plant. Seen people empty wee bins into laundry tubs and into camp kitchen tubs. People got told what for and where made leave the park, had signs up to. So some people do not give a s### as long as they are right.

just lazy or stupid, or both !

There is no where in this country where that practice is legal.

Legally, grey water is treated the same way as black water in terms of its treatment in sewerage systems.

No waste water is permitted into the storm water system.

I agree no way it is legal, but people tapped into the storm water and let their sullage flow. We had people smash lids off IO's and shove their hoses down there. Everyone was told to run their waste water onto the grass. In the end I think they had to run extra pipes to let people run their sullage back into the sewerlines. I left before this happened but they had surveyed the sites and marked it all out.

This has all the makings of more than a mere wee debate.....I'll grab my stool......er....perhaps that is not an appropriate term to use either....I guess if it tasted like wee, smelt like wee and turned the litmus paper bright yellow it was possibly .....wee.....how would one ever know she actually made it to the toilets if she headed off into the night with that deadly 'load'?.....in the magic of the moment she could have off loaded it anywhere......she definitely should not pour it straight into the sullage between your vans....it could easily have splashed on your boots behind the tree I guess?......I believe her every 'movement' should be monitored........Hoo Roo....

Hey Jim · Guru

I have a bad habit of sleep walking at night, when folks are so inconsiderate. Mush be the aftermouth toms, that kicks me off. wink wink wink

The disgusting habit of peeing in a bucket overnight amazes me, a portapotti can be bought for under a $100 and the waste disposed of in a dump point, no place for buckets in this day and age.

I have even seen the mongrels pour their contents down the sink in the toilets then wash out the bucket in the same sink ! some poor bugger will come along later and have wash in the same sink.

Hi banjo, yuck. Have not seen that but have seen a person washing up dishes using the hose at the dump point. Regards. Rocket

We place a clear bucket under our sink drain on our camper and usually the contents will look yellowish from the wash-up water - I then carry the bucket to a sullage point to empty so I'd imagine it would be easy for someone to surmise we are emptying a night bucket as it does look like pee. It would be a big pee however as it's 20 litres disbelief

I agree if it was pee it would be a no no.

Good Luck.

Ah, the story should then go something like, "I saw someone pour some wee coloured liquid down the sullage". Thousand alternative explanations for the production of wee coloured liquid in a clear plastic bucket. Maybe a sniff test, at least, next time before jumping to conclusions, else we will be having stories on the news about "wee rage" along with the road rage stories.

But if it was wee, the woman concerned should be educated on the correct method of disposal, such as the nearest bed of roses or any citrus tree.

Quite a positive aspect to the story though. Conversation among the garden enthusiasts at the local men's shed shows that a re-purposed Fluffy brand fabric softener bottle (wide mouth) is the container of choice for late night use beside the bed. I have used a recycled Photocopier toner container for years. Has good strong lid that seals well during transport to the garden. A pee bottle beside the bed is also a good way for older men to keep an eye on their urinary system health. Recommended by the GP some years ago.

You do know that toilets, dump points and sullage drains all empty into the same system - sewerage!
