“Bondi Cigars” #Fatbergs” & “Poo Balls”
Sydney’s sewage is is flushed out to sea through “deepwater outfall” pipes that reach between 2km and 4km off the coast. Primary treatment involves pumping sewage through a screen to remove solid waste. Secondary treatment – not used at the #Bondi #Malabar and #NorthHead plants – involves finer filtration and biological processing to break down the sewage.
