Paris Sewer Museum Video

Le Musée des Égouts de Paris, or the Paris Sewer Museum, is dedicated to the sewer system of Paris.

 

No other city in the world has a sewer network like the one found in Paris. It now has 2,100 kilometres of tunnels. It houses, in addition to the drinking and non drinking water mains, telecommunication cables, pneumatic cables and traffic light management cables.

 

Every day, 1.2 million cubic metres of wastewater have to be collected. Every year, 15,000 cubic metres of solid waste are taken out and disposed of.

The sewer system is quoted in Les Misérables.
