How is sewage processed and where does it end up?

Answer 1

It is sent to law school and ends up either in Congress or the ACLU - processed, but not really much different.

Answer 2

To keep this short....

It goes into large holding ponds (tanks) where it is airated and stirred constantly. at some point bacteria feed on the "soup"
until most of the edible stuff is gone., What is left is liquid and sludge. The liquid goes on for further processing, the sludge is dryed and usually baked to kill germs, it is then sold for fertilizer.
the liquid eventually is cleaned enough for drinking water (in countrys like Australia) or pumped into the rivers or under ground,
Is some states that have lots of landscaping in the middle of the roads (like Florida) they use the water to water the trees and shrubbery.
