Thazard:
Please can you throw more light on the new generation soakaway?

Biodigester

pocohantas:



It could be a 5 storey building with 4 tanks on top. No jokes.

Acidosis:


Biodigester

The way you were talking about modern soakaway as if it is used by most homes.

So it is biodigester you are talking about. Nawa. More than 99.9 of homes in Nigeria are not using biodigester.
Biodigester should be an alternative to septic tank, not soakaway.

Those who use biodigester also have soakaway where the water goes to or they channel the water out to the gutter infront of their houses. Not every street have gutters/drainage, so channeling the water from the biodigester/soakaway out of the house will create problems between the neighbours and the houseowner.

Something as basic as water . Nigeria o

Is your apartment in Chile bills inclusive, because you're suppose to pay around $20 every month for water as other developed countries do. Unless you are living in a student dormitory.

It's all bills inclusive. There's nothing like student dormitories here.

So that is why you don't know that water is usually paid for, in America you will surely pay water bills and your eye go see shege ehn.

20 usd water bill is nothing if that's what one person pays. I know what I was spending weekly on just pure water before I left Nigeria. I don't even want to talk of maintenance of borehole and the likes of such nonsense. Fetching water inside bucket and all. Buying fuel to pump water or calling Mallam when generator don spoil . What a shithole country

You have confessed how Nigerian landlords 'suffer' to provide water that you called it basic.

You are right, all those stress big pass 20 dollars

1: Pumping water: Many will switch on the water pump and the tank will overflow for 2-3 hours or more before they switch it off.
If they were using generator to pump the water, they will off it immediately a drop of water overflow. You can't try such on prepaid metre or your units will keep running out faster. Being on estimated billing gives them the morale to waste water.


2. Using water: Years ago, a landlord within the neighborhood came to meet my Dad. He complained that his soakaway is always filled. My Dad asked him if he connected water to all tenants and he said yes. My Dad advised him to disconnect all pipes to tenants apartment. Let all of them go down within the compound to fetch water.
That was how the problem was solved.
The tenants can no longer waste water because they saw how much effort they put it to carry 25-30 litres up to 3 storey building.

I still know many buildings that keep pumping water out of their soakaway because they connected water directly to all tenant's flats. These tenants feel that because they paid a certain amount as house rent, they have the right to waste water.

What do you mean by "pumping water Soakaway"? Do people pump water from Soakaway or borehole?

He should charge water bill. A lot of modern houses in Lagos have service charge that covers water, repairs and general maintenance of the property.

He can also install a float switch that pumps the water automatically when it drops to a certain level. This style of tenants rushing out to pump water by 2am when NEPA restores power belongs to 1972. Some would forget to turn it off and end up irrigating a whole street.

The soakaway is filled with water because of water wastage.
So they pump that water out from the soakaway to the street.
