Mystery in a sewage pump station!

Roots in sewage pump station

8th November 2019

Two bin bags containing fibrous roots were cleared out by service engineer Sam from a small pump station. Amazingly the pump station refused to be overwhelmed by the roots.


How long it could have gone on working without being strangled by the root monster is a matter of conjecture. Thank goodness Sam got to it in time!

Clearly regular servicing is important. This picture is just a few of the roots.
