wastewater treatment plants

Municipal effluent facilities

Wastewater treatment plants are facilities that process sewage and other contaminated water to remove pollutants before releasing it back into the environment.

The treatment typically involves physical, chemical, and biological processes to separate solids, break down organic matter, and eliminate harmful bacteria.

The city built a new wastewater treatment plant to handle population growth.
