Are wastewater treatment systems really necessary?
Wastewater treatment systems serve primarily to protect the health of the general population by insuring that water supplies remain clean. In today’s world, people live a lot longer than they used to and higher population concentrations result in increased organic loading to the waterways from a variety of sources. Modern wastewater treatment systems contribute to a safer, cleaner environment by reducing this organic load and controlling the presence of bacteria and waterborne diseases.
