When you run clothes washers, <br />take showers, and flush toilets, you turn clean water into wastewater. <br />Businesses and industries also generate wastewater. Most wastewater, <br />a combination of soap suds, toilet paper, and other matter, travels <br />through an extensive sewer system until it reaches the domestic waste- <br />water treatment plant. At wastewater treatment plants, the water is <br />cleaned and discharged into a river or other receiving body for use <br />downstream. <br />The solid, organic fraction of wastewater that remains after the water <br />• has been returned to the environment is called sewage sludge. Sewage <br />sludge that has been treated according to federal and state biosolids <br />regulations, can then be called "biosolids."
