Yeah I think that's the difficulty here, the technology needs just the right kind of placement and the right surrounding setup. There is a desalinization plant nearby, they feed the water into the city, the city uses the water, the sewage comes to the water treatment plant, they clean it up to environmental release standards and instead of dumping it back into a river or the ocean, they use it together with stronger brine from the desalinization plant to produce some electrical power.
From what I understand most municipalities do not directly feed sewage treated water right back to the consumer, normally they dump it into a lake or river first. A lot of that may just be an informal "yuk" factor not necessarily not having the technology.
It's cool but everything sort of has to be aligned for it to work well.
