Poop to Water

I got to visit a water treatment plant yesterday.  It was very informative.  Waste comes into the plant through pipes.  Because Florida is flat, lift stations help the process of moving it through the pipes.  Once there, it is pumped into a tank that separates the solids from the liquids.  For half of the waste, there is bacteria to break down the waste.  If it is truly a solid, then it gets sucked into a waste disposal can. The water moves to an area where chlorine is mixed with the water.  At this point, it can be used.  It is not for consumption, but it can be used on grass.  Then, it is stored until needed.  If too much is processed, then they send it to ponds nearby.
