Having spent many days photographing in sewage and water treatment plants in the past month, I have a much deeper understanding of what it takes to handle our, ahem, waste products. The client is a company that operates plants in conjunction with municipalities all over the country. Every community has a facility, though most of us have never seen it. Of course, the punchline here is that we've smelled it. Yet there's some very advanced odor control devices in operation that help keep us from getting even a whiff.
I'm now aware that a sewage treatment plant returns water to the local watershed at what is called 'recreational' quality...clean, but you wouldn't want to drink it. Water treatment plants do the heavy duty cleaning to bring that potable water to your kitchen sink.
