Where do you think a city's sewage goes? In LA, for example:
> The treated wastewater (effluent) that is not reclaimed is piped into the Los Angeles River, Santa Monica Bay, or Los Angeles Harbor to name a few.
Most cities don't recycle their poop. They just dump it into the nearest body of water after processing it.

- ianburrell 3y agoTreated wastewater is very different than raw sewage. It is cleaner than the river or ocean. Reclaimed water is used for non-potable uses like watering plants. LA is working on recycling all wastewater as potable water.
- kolanos 3y agoWe're not talking about the waste water, we are talking about the solid matter, which as per the link I provided is dumped into the nearest body of water.
