**Sewage Treatment: Preserving Our Water Resources**
Sewage treatment plays a vital role in protecting public health. This process removes harmful contaminants from sewage and transforms it into clean water that can be safely returned to the environment. Modern sewage treatment facilities employ a multi-step process involving:
* **Primary Treatment:** Removes large solids using screens or settling tanks.
* **Secondary Treatment:** Decomposes organic matter through biological processes.
* **Tertiary Treatment:** Polishes the treated water to remove additional impurities.
**How Clean is Water After Sewage Treatment?**
The treated water discharged from sewage treatment facilities is highly sanitized and meets stringent water quality standards. However, the level of purification varies depending on the specific treatment process and the intended use of the water.
* **Municipal Wastewater:** After initial disinfection, municipal wastewater is typically used for non-potable purposes such as irrigation, landscaping, or industrial processes.
* **Potable Water:** For water designated for human consumption, additional treatment steps are implemented, including filtration, disinfection, and fluoridation. This ensures the water meets the highest safety standards and is safe for drinking, cooking, and bathing.
