    About this ebook

    This is the beginner’s guide to understanding Waste Water Treatment Plants (WWTP), commonly known as septic systems. Waste water is the general term for all effluent and grey water produced in your home.
    It includes flow from:
     Toilet
     Bath
     Shower
     Sinks
     Floor drains
     Laundry
     Dishwasher
    The average household uses up to 150 litres of water per person, per day. In the city, your sewer drains from your house connects to the Council main and away. In non-sewer rural areas the sewer drain will connect to a WWTP or septic trenches.
    In this book we will endeavour to explain the different systems, the dos and don’ts of living with a septic system, and a troubleshooting guide for the most common problems and the things you can check to hopefully save you money and some minor headaches.

    Winner of the 2009 Lifetime Achievement award for mystery writing from Romantic Times magazine, Nancy Martin announces the release of the 8th book in her popular Blackbird Sisters mystery series, NO WAY TO KILL A LADY. Set in Philadelphia, the story features three heiresses whose parents have run off with their trust funds. Now thay have a chance to regain their wealth when their aunt, "Madcap Maddy" Blackbird dies in a volcano and leaves her estate to the sisters. But Nora Blackbird soon discovers all the treasures in Aunt Maddy's house have disappeared...information that leads her to believe maybe Maddy didn't die the way everybody thinks. Author of 48 pop fiction novels in mystery, suspense, historical and romance genres, Nancy created The Blackbird Sisters in 2002--- mysteries about three impoverished heiresses who adventure in couture and crime --as if "Agatha Christie had wandered onto the set of Sex and The City."

Currently, she is at work on the Roxy Abruzzo mystery series for St. Martin's Minotaur. In 2009 she received the Romantic Times Lifetime Achievement Award for mystery writing.
