To summarize, your nutrient-leached poo gets swirled together with a glorious liquid cacophony of shower water, pee, rain, and other discarded liquids, which floats through a labyrinth of pipes. Then it arrives at the waste-water treatment plant (which we all know to be a very scary place). Pebbles, used condoms, and lost iPhones are strained out, as well as oil and grease, leaving poopy water and a layer of sludge.
Then a bunch of bacteria feast on the pathogens in the water, which is disinfected and set free. The remaining sludge is also dinner for bacteria, which belches out methane that powers the waste-water treatment plant. It’s a beautiful cycle! I don’t see why THAT couldn't be shown on public television.
