Wastewater: Where does it go?
Have you ever wondered what happens to water and other substances when they are flushed down our drains and toilets? It shouldn't be a mystery, and the City of Windsor and the Detroit River Canadian Cleanup initiative have partnered to create a wastewater video to help de-mystify the topic, and educate viewers.

Been living in US for 10 years. I have been curious about where does the waste go after flushing and luckily I found this video. This much educational information for only 700k views?
Very well done. Much more engaging and explanatory than most videos on wastewater treatment I am finding on youtube.
It's sad that videos like this never make it to the trending page
I worked at a wastewater treatment plant for 25 years. I can say honestly I had a shifty job! But I also say damn proud to help clean water

For some reason, I always assumed that water that went down the drain went to a water treatment facility, and then after treatment, went back into the municipal water supply, or into a reservoir or something like that so it could be used again. Looks like I was wrong - in most places, after treatment, it just gets dumped into a river and carried out to sea. This seems relevant right now, because where I am, it hasn't rained at all in more than 2.5 months and the government is starting to ration water.

My grandpa is the president of the water district in Ranger/Eastland, Texas, walked me through the plant and taught he how everything works. It's pretty cool
This should be taught early in school! A random conscious acknowledgement of my running water while I was brushing my teeth brought me here.
It's always lovable to watch how water is cleaned. Blessed you.
Watched until the end. I guess I'll need to find somewhere else to brush my teeth?

The stuff they are saying you shouldn't do is COMMON SENCE. There really are way to many uneducated people in this world and also people that generally just don't care.. Sad world we live in and is the reason the world is in the state its it.
Very concise and to the point. I'll be sure to share this on FB.
Agreeing with previous posts; very well done!
This encourages me more to conserve water and to put my paint water anywhere else, fire video 🔥🔥🗣️🗣️
The guy at the sewer plant told us when they got through with the 💩 water it was cleaner than the river they send it into. We told him to drink some. He wouldn’t.
Great information! Thank you for making this easy for my 7 year old who just flushed a key chain Down to see why that's BAD! I'm sharing on FB
" No 1, No 2 and TP." love it, so simple! thank you!!!!
i really wish they would show this at school. this is cool.
I really appreciate this video but am disappointed that Nestle is advertising their water before this video. In Ontario, Nestle is taking its waters from our water source, bottling it and selling it. Since it takes about 3 times as much water to make a water bottle as what the bottle holds, making plastic bottles is a poor use of our water resources. This is in addition to the fact that many of those bottles end up requiring even more energy to be recycled/cleaned out of waterways/or take up space in landfills.
What woman thinks that its okay to flush tampons and pads down the toilet??? Literally every bathroom says "DON'T FLUSH SANITARY NAPKINS DOWN THE TOILETTE!!!" Every. Bathroom. Who is doing this? WHO????

What about the shower? Soaps, shampoos, sunscreens, lotions, hair products, and countless skin products…

In the UK all drains are separated as it is illegal to have stormwater ajd wastewater in the same sewer as are sewers.
