A modern wastewater treatment plant discharges cleaner water than the river/lake/ocean it's discharging into. Even not-so modern plants' discharge is no worse than the receiving body of water.
What ... do you honestly think the treatment plant doesn't do anything?
I don't know why you're making excuses for this third-world barbarian. His conduct is inexcusable. So is yours.
then go and drink the water since its clean... I soap up and bath in my lake ALL the time!!
You people are beyond blind sheep. follow the no matter what they say or defend.!!! Some broad complains about a guy washing some clothes in the river but has no problem going out in a boat and pumping exhaust fumes into the same water!!
If you talk about dumping chemicals or garbage into the water, fine!! But it a little bit of GD soap!!
You people are STUPID!!
