HAVANA, Cuba (AP) — Cuba‘s aging sewage system is being transformed with the help of vacuum sewer trucks, which are quickly becoming a common sight in the streets of Havana.
The trucks, which use vacuum suction to remove waste from homes and businesses, are a more efficient and environmentally friendly way to collect sewage than traditional gravity systems. They are also less likely to overflow during heavy rains, which is a common problem in Cuba.
The first vacuum sewer trucks were introduced in Cuba in 2017, and the government has since purchased dozens more. The trucks are being used in both Havana and other cities around the country.
The introduction of vacuum sewer trucks is part of a broader effort to improve Cuba’s sewage system. The government has also been investing in new sewage treatment plants and upgrading existing ones.
The improvements to Cuba’s sewage system are having a positive impact on public health. Sewage-related diseases, such as cholera and typhoid, are becoming less common.
The vacuum sewer trucks are also helping to improve the environment. They reduce the amount of untreated sewage that is discharged into rivers and streams.
The introduction of vacuum sewer trucks is a major step forward for Cuba’s sewage system. The trucks are more efficient, environmentally friendly, and less likely to overflow. They are also helping to improve public health and the environment.
Here are some additional details about vacuum sewer trucks:
- They are powered by diesel engines or electric motors.
- They can collect sewage from up to 100 homes or businesses per day.
- The sewage is stored in a tank on the truck and then transported to a sewage treatment plant.
- The trucks are equipped with a variety of safety features, such as alarms that sound if the tank is full or if there is a leak.
The introduction of vacuum sewer trucks in Cuba is a significant improvement to the country’s sewage system. The trucks are more efficient, environmentally friendly, and less likely to overflow. They are also helping to improve public health and the environment.
