sewage plant

Municipal waste facility

A sewage plant, also called a wastewater treatment plant, is a facility that processes sewage and wastewater to remove contaminants before releasing the treated water back into the environment.

The plant uses physical, chemical, and biological processes to separate solids, break down organic matter, and eliminate harmful bacteria.

The city built a new sewage plant to handle increased population growth.

Municipal sewage plants are essential infrastructure that protects public health and waterways from pollution.
