Why is the Key West Wastewater Treatment Plant so important ?

The Key West wastewater treatment plant is important because it protects the public from disease and viruses found in wastewater.  There was a time long ago that nature could purify wastewater without any help from us.  As the population increased the amount of wastewater exceeded natures capacity to clean it and threatened our environment.  The wastewater treatment plant condenses, contains, controls, and improves upon natures process in a central location.
