What is the difference between the stormwater system and the sewerage system?
People are often confused about the difference between the stormwater system and the sewage system. Water that enters the sewage system (ie. water originating from bathrooms and kitchens etc) is transported to treatment plants that remove a considerable proportion of pollutants, before discharging into our waterways. The stormwater system on the other hand is an almost direct network of drains, which flush into our waterways with no intervention or processing.
