<<My plumber (and neighbor and friend) tells me the the sewers here are gravity-based and don't require power to work. Is that true? Or are some sewer systems gravity-based and some not?>> I don't know where you live, dclapp, but most towns/cities have a mix of gravity and other (electrically powered lift station/force main) since it's pretty unlikely that all sewer in a municipality flows downhill to the sewage treatment facility. Regardless, if everything did gravity flow to the treatment station, the station uses electricity (or some back-up power in an emergency) to treat the waste. I suppose that in a worst case situation, everything would start to back up from the treatment station; or else they'd just let it flow through untreated. Hope this helps. ...Tim
