Treatment Laboratory Testing
De Soto Wastewater Laboratory Testing
We consider wastewater treatment as a water use because it is so interconnected with the other uses of water. Much of the water used by homes, industries, and businesses must be treated before it is released back to the environment.
If the term "wastewater treatment" is confusing to you, you might think of it as "sewage treatment." Nature has an amazing ability to cope with small amounts of water wastes and pollution, but it would be overwhelmed if we didn't treat the billions of gallons of wastewater and sewage produced every day before releasing it back to the environment. Treatment plants reduce pollutants in wastewater to a level nature can handle.

Wastewater
is used water. It includes substances such as human
waste, food scraps, oils, soaps and chemicals. In homes,
this includes water from sinks, showers, bathtubs,
toilets, washing machines and dishwashers. Businesses
and industries also contribute their share of used water
that must be cleaned.
