Waste Treatment Plant: A facility that uses a series of tanks, screens, filters and other treatment processes to remove pollutants from water.
Wastewater Treatment Plant: A facility that receives wastewater (and sometimes runoff) from domestic and/or industrial sources, and by a combination of physical, chemical, ...
Nondischarging Treatment Plant: A treatment plant that does not discharge treated wastewater into any stream or river.
Soil and rock layers naturally filter the groundwater to a high degree of clarity before it is pumped to the treatment plant. Such water may emerge as springs, artesian springs, or may be extracted from boreholes or wells.
operation and maintenance costs The costs of operating a system such as a treatment plant. "O & M" costs are ongoing expenses, such as for repair or for employee salaries. Compare capital costs.
The system of pipes that carries wastewater from homes and businesses to a treatment plant or reclamation plant. Sewers are separate from storm drains, which is a system of drains and pipes that carry rain water from urban streets back to the ocean.

Secondary wastewater treatment plant: A facility that reduces pollutants and suspended solids to a greater level than that achieved by a primary treatment plant; the water goes through additional treatment processes, ...
"Dirty water going into the treatment plant means water contaminated with chlorination byproducts coming out of your tap," said Jane Houlihan, EWG's Research Director.
"Point" sources of chemicals include industrial discharges, waste incinerators, sewage treatment plants, and solid waste disposal sites.
Treated water or wastewater exiting a treatment plant, or exiting a particular stage of the treatment process (i.e. primary effluent, secondary effluent, final effluent).
Evaporation
The process that changes water (liquid) into water vapor (gas).
Discharge of effluent from wastewater treatment plants which receive wastewater from households, commercial establishments, and industries. Combined sewer/separate storm overflows are included in this category.

product water Water that has passed through a water treatment plant. All the treatment processes are completed or finished. This water is the product from the water treatment plant and is ready to be delivered to the consumers.
Jar Test: A laboratory procedure that simulates a water treatment plant's coagulation/flocculation units with differing chemical doses, mix speeds, ...
Interceptor Sewers- Large sewer lines that, in a combined system, control the flow of sewage to the treatment plant. In a storm, they allow some of the sewage to flow directly into a receiving stream, thus keeping it from overflowing onto the streets.
EFFLUENT: The water leaving a water or wastewater treatment plant. If effluent has been treated to a high enough standard, it may be considered reclaimed or recycled.
Wastewater, treated or untreated, that flows out of a treatment plant, sewer or industrial outfall. Generally refers to wastes discharged into surface waters.

Effluent: Waste liquid flowing into a river or lake from a house, industry, sewage treatment plant, or other source.
Erosion: Detachment of soil particles by water, wind, ice, gravity or organisms.
leaking underground storage tank, discharge pipe from a sewage treatment plant, any pipe, ditch, channel, tunnel, conduit, well, discrete fissure, container, rolling stock, animal feeding operation, or landfill, ...
Open vertical gap or empty space that separates drinking water supply to be protected from another water system in a treatment plant or other location. The open gap protects the drinking water from contamination by backflow or back siphonage.
Sewer: A channel or conduit that carries waste water and storm water runoff from the source to a treatment plant or receiving stream.
SF6: Sulfur hexafluoride; a physiologically inert gas used as a tracer in building investigations.
A statement about the expected effects on the environment of a proposed project or development such as a new road or waste water treatment plant, including how any severe effects on the environment will be addressed.

Effluent. Wastewater or other liquid, partially or completely treated or in its natural state, flowing from a treatment plant.
The most effective emission controls involve the redesign of the process so less waste is produced at the source. Common emission controls are wastewater treatment plants, stack scrubbers and in-plant, solid waste reduction programs.

treatability
In relation to waste water, the amenability of substances to removal without adversely affecting the normal operation of biological treatment processes (such as a sewage treatment plant).
It has set wastewater standards for businesses and boats, as well as water quality standards for any potential water contaminants, and funded the construction of sewage treatment plants to reuse wastewater.
It includes plans for safety, aesthetics and common sense placement of everything from houses and workplaces to parks and shopping areas. For example, parents wouldn't want their children's playground next to the water treatment plant and urban ...
