Where it goes when you flush

If you flush your toilet in Columbus or any neighboring community, your waste likely goes to the Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plant on Rt. 23 south of town. Here's what happens at the huge site: www.dispatch.com/news/20180529...

I have some mad respect for those who work in these plants. Yes it's late at night and yes I was wondering where my toilet water was going 😅

[@davidedwardsme]

Good to know the internet exists for those moments when you're disposing natures little gifts and you wonder where they might travel to! Interesting video! .. though granted i still dont understand what happens to the actual poop lol

[@rayyfigzify]

it's eaten by the bacteria! lol

@@Babyrfunny No, then it exists as water vapor in the air or is absorbed into the soil.

I'm just curious, does it not stink to be working there? They don't wear any gears or face masks. hihi

[@msmarauder6276]

They explained this in the video

[@ronnieperez8519]

Even when there is a smell, you end up getting used to it. It's just part of the job.

Key & Peele anyone?

[@fallen_sky_tvshow]

We drink toilet water 💬😱

[@msmarauder6276]

Yea that's a hard pill to swallow, no matter how much they've treated it 😫

[@ronnieperez8519]

That's one of the things I've learned being a wastewater operator and learning about the water cycle. It's all the same water we've been drinking for ages
