It might surprise you to know that we all drink and bathe in recycled water. The water we flush down the toilet is turned into potable water, and it is the job of sewage treatment plants to make this water fit for human consumption or release into rivers and oceans.
Wastewater from sinks, baths, washing machines, toilets and other appliances has to go somewhere. After traversing miles of sewer network, it ends up in sewage treatment plants whose job is to treat and discharge it.
