The final effluent from a well-run treatment works is

  • A.sterile and safe to drink untreated
  • B.identical in composition to the raw sewage
  • C.acidic and rich in suspended solids
  • D.clear but not sterile

Answer: D

Correct answer: clear but not sterile

A well-run works produces an effluent low in solids and oxygen demand, but treatment reduces rather than eliminates the organisms - typically by two or three orders of magnitude. Where the receiving water is used for bathing or shellfish, a disinfection stage is added for that reason.
