Lieven de Key, a housing corporation in #Amsterdam, is planning what is believed to be the first #SewerWarmth project that will tap into a main district #SewagePipe to warm 1,600 existing social and student homes. After the Dutch words for sewer, riool, and warmth, this sustainable, 24/7, year round heat source is dubbed #riothermie. #RecycledHeat

‘A treasure beneath our feet’: How the Dutch went down the toilet looking for heat

Sewage waste is now being seen as a reliable heat source for millions of homes in the Netherlands

The Guardian

A month and a half ago we had an issue with the main #waterPipe in the apartment building where we live. It was so stressful to coordinate a handful of tenants for a week without water supply.

Now the #sewagePipe is blocked, and the drama continues. Hopefully tomorrow the issue will be resolved... I don't want to swim in other people's crap...

I never should have applied for the unpaid position of #housingManager in an eighty years old building.
