Why you should not park your car next to a well and sewer ditch

Due to the lack of parking spaces, you are often forced to leave your “iron horses” where you need to, often you park your car directly at the sewage drain or near water drains. However, it is still better not to park the car in such places. Why, explains the portal “AvtoVzglyad”.
First of all, it should be noted that in a number of regions, local authorities expressly prohibit parking cars on waterworks, including the infamous wells. And all because this is not just a sewer, but a real fire hydrant – an assistant for firefighters who draw water there when extinguishing fires.
It is not for nothing that recently in the yards they began to designate such areas in the places that were previously used as parking lots with special markings: signs or asphalt cladding. But even if there are no prohibition signs or markings, it is better not to leave your car near the hatch. Judge for yourself: how can firefighters get close to the water supply if – God forbid – there is a fire nearby? That is it.
However, there are other reasons why it is better not to park near sewage pits and the so-called storm drains. We all know very well that underground communications in Russia are in an extremely unsatisfactory state. Pipes often burst, taps break, causing a leak. And this kind of accident can easily turn into a stream of ice cold or hot water directly on the car. We believe that it is not necessary to talk about the consequences of such a “disaster”.
Even if only hot steam can turn a car into a real “sponge”, reducing the resource of components and assemblies – from rubber products to body paint. And the worst option would be a “torn” fire hydrant, which will knock off the cover of the water outlet, ready to fly into a car standing next to it, “throw” along the way with a rusty substance, or even feces.
Again, the infamous pit may be required at any time for rescuers to go down to clear a particular outage. In addition, very often there is a gas pipe running underground, and this, as you might guess, can make a lot of noise. And in the true sense of the word.
