The design had been provided withaeration system in order to deliver oxygen to microorganisms presented insewage water. The system had been used in three different seasons in order toinvestigate the ambient temperature effect on treating wastewater. The resultsrevealed that ambient temperature had a significant role in organic wastedegradation powered by the presence of air into sewage pipes and level tanks.Maximum degradation measured in terms of chemical oxygen demand removal(RCOD) was recorded to be 14.28 under 30 OC ambient temperature and 8 hr oftreating time. The results recorded from the current system seemed to bepromising in terms of self-purification ability of the transporting sewer system.
