agree  aurafas: mergand pe link, "sewage cleaner" e vidanja, deci mai degraba ar fi "sewage cleaner operator" corelat si cu http://www.bls.gov/ncs/ocs/ocsm/comE694.htm (SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT OPERATORS)

  -> da, dar in primul link, "sewage cleaner" era persoana care desfasura activitatea. Si asemenea linkuri am mai gasit, adica fara "operator".
