[edit] Merging Blackwater (waste) into Sewage

If we accept the definition of Sewage given in the article, then it's basically anything -- Blackwater (waste), Greywater, whatever -- that goes into a sewage system. Thus, sewage is not necessarily blackwater. Blackwater, on the other hand, is any water with fecal matter and/or urine in it, including that which does not go into a sewage system. Thus, blackwater is not necessarily sewage. The two categories are distinct. 70.245.108.95 (talk) 02:13, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Blackwater (waste) into Sewage may be slightly more specific than Sewage but I think they're close enough to be best covered in the same article. Should the blackwater section develop, it could always be split later. --Chriswaterguy talk 10:01, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Yes, it could be merged into a broader category page called "Poop". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.211.131.123 (talk) 23:03, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
