Implementation and Usefulness
In many European countries, citizens are obliged to connect their home sanitation to the national sewerage system where possible. This has resulted in large percentages of the population being connected to a sewerage system. For example, the Netherlands have 99% of the population connected to the sewerage system, and 1% has an individual sewage disposal system, e.g., septic tank. Others have slightly lower (though still substantial) percentages; e.g., 96% for Germany and 86% for Belgium.

Famous quotes containing the word usefulness:
“A public man must never forget that he loses his usefulness when he as an individual, rather than his policy, becomes the issue.”
