I’m spending a week in La Jolla, CA, USA, about 15ft above sea level and I’m wondering where the sewage goes? There’s no room between here and the sea for a treatment plant. There’s pretty big apartment complexes and hotels that would need enormous septic tanks. How does it work?

    I’m no expert but I wonder if where there’s limited space for traditional sewage treatment plants, wastewater is just transported through a network of sewer lines to centralized treatment facilities? 🤔

    This would allow the treatment plants to be located further inland.

    Alternaively I guess they could employ on-site treatment technologies that can be incorporated into the building’s infrastructure 🤔

    But like I said I ain’t no expert and just speculating 😅
