The discharge from the sewer treatment plants go into their own holding ponds (I had a tour of the treatment plant by Beuna Vista and Bonita and its holding pond is adjacent to the plant). This water, along with street runoff is used for golf course irrigation. So, despite rumors to the contrary, no treated water from the sanitary sewers is used on residential lawns.
