What are the implications of coronaviruses including Covid-19 on sustainable wastewater treatment & reuse within industrial and municipal wastewater facilities?
Do water recycling and wastewater treatment plants treat COVID-19?
Yes, wastewater and water recycling treatment plants treat viruses and other pathogens. COVID-19 is a type of coronavirus that is particularly susceptible to disinfection. Treatment and disinfectant processes at these plants are expected to be effective to treat these viruses.
Can personnel contract COVID-19 from wastewater or water recycling plants?
The World Health Organization (WHO) has indicated that “there is no evidence to date that COVID-19 virus has been transmitted via wastewater recycling systems, with or without sustainable wastewater treatment.”
Should recycled water and wastewater workers take extra precautions to protect themselves from the virus that causes COVID-19?
No, according to the centers for disease control (CDC), standard practices associated with wastewater and water reuse treatment plant operations should be sufficient to protect wastewater treatment workers from viruses including COVID-19.
These standard practices can include administrative and engineering controls, hygiene precautions, specific safe work practices, and personal protective equipment (PPE) normally required when handling untreated wastewater. No additional COVID-19 specific protections are recommended for workers involved in recycled water or wastewater management, including those at wastewater treatment facilities.
