( Only if it goes into a main sewer ). First, the solids are removed by filters and settling tanks. Then, the liquid is oxygenated to remove bacteria. When it is around 90% pure (pure enough to drink), it is discharged into the local water course to be used again or else it would make its way into the sea.

How do sedimentation tanks help to remove solid wastes in the treatment of waste water?

Sedimentation tanks help remove solid waste in wastewater treatment by allowing heavy particles to settle at the bottom of the tank, forming sludge. The sludge can then be removed, reducing the amount of solid waste in the water. The clarified water on top is then further treated to remove any remaining solids before being released back into the environment.
