Taken from Wikipedia, "The Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant is a primary waste water treatment facility located on the Point Loma Peninsula in San Diego, California. It is a notable facility due to its ability to treat 1 gallon of waste water for 1/3000th of a penny. The process used to treat the waste water has been perfected to treat a large amount of water as inexpensive as possible. This waste water facility is also noted for its high percentage of removal of pollutants while also remaining a primary treatment facility. The solid removal rate is between 88–90% while the BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand) removal rate is kept at 60%. This unique process involves adding Hydrogen Peroxide in order to retrieve and recycle the iron salts that are used in treatment, thus enabling major cost savings."
