The method of the managed sewer is a Netcentric distributed process that is managed in real-time and implemented through several apparatuses that enable the low capital cost and low installation cost of a smaller diameter pipe (smaller than typically used in gravity flow systems). The apparatuses enable the method of managing the grinding, pumping and staging processes to optimize the effectiveness of the collection process through the small pipe and increase system efficacy by using the pumping and transport action of the material in the pipe as part of the process activity.

A sewer flood control system including a vault formed of a strong light weight material. The vault being formed of one or more sections which can be carried by one or more persons and lowered into a hole dug by hand which is only slightly larger in cross section than the vault sections. A base under said vault sections, with a sump extending below said base. A pair of check valves located near the bottom of the vault, connected in series between a pipe connect to a public sewer system and a sewage discharge pipe from a building. A flow path for sewage from the building to enter the sump when the check valves are closed, and a ejector pump in said sump for discharge said sewage into the pipe connect to the public sewer system.

The invention relates to wastewater treatment systems with decentralized disposal of treated wastewater and methods of using the same. The invention further relates to methods of converting existing septic systems to a wastewater treatment plant system.

The present invention is a method and system for control of sewer systems. The invention may implement ABRTC (RTC) to dynamically control of sewer systems to accomplish a desired outcome, such as CSO or SSO reduction or reduce water pollution or reduce surface flooding. In one embodiment, an Agent-Based RTC System assigns an agent to each sewer asset. Each agent measures the current state of its corresponding asset and assigns a virtual cost to any incoming flow to the asset based on the asset hydraulic or water quality state. The virtual cost is communicated to other assets upstream or downstream that may change the hydraulic or water quality state of the asset communicating the virtual cost. The network of agents may thus control the sewer to achieve the desired objective, such as asset hydraulic or water quality state.

The present invention provides a structure for installing bathroom plumbing, the structure comprising: a structural post provided with at least one board installed parallel to the structural post and at least one building floor installed perpendicular to the structural post, the at least one board and the structural post defining a first accommodation space together, the first accommodation space provided with a first discharge pipe, the building floor forming a downward recessed area adjacent to the structural post; at least one detachable floor panel installed at the downward recessed area of the building floor to define a second accommodation space, the second accommodation space communicating with the first accommodation space; at least one toilet disposed on the at least one detachable floor panel.

A French drain drainpipe with built-in means for flushing iron ocher out of the drainpipe, out of the perforations, and out of the gravel surrounding the drainpipe. Said means may include chambers for receiving pressurized washing fluids and exit orifices from the chambers. Fittings are provided for connecting the chambers to a pressurized source of washing fluids, such as hose fittings for connecting to a normal household water supply.

A self-cleaning filter device adaptable to the volume of rainwater and a method for its use are described. The self-cleaning filter device adaptable to the volume of rainwater comprises a body including a rainwater inlet, a debris outlet, at least one filtered rainwater outlet, a filter element provided inside the body and comprising a flexible element having a filter means involving and secured to it and whose upper end is connected to said rainwater inlet and whose lower end is connected to said debris outlet, said filter element being provided with an upper portion, a central portion and a lower portion, and a regulating device provided inside the body and connected to the filter element.
