Usually, sewage is acidic to a degree, but it depends on the specific effluents being conveyed by the sewer. The pH of sewage coming from industrial plants is regulated by the facility's waste water discharge permit, and the plant must control its waste pH in accordance with that permit. Effluents from other businesses and residences are regulated for pH by the Plumbing codes, which mandate any acidic wastes be neutralized before discharging to the sewer. Regardless of these safe guards against chemical acids, sewage soils contains sulfates, which react with air and water in the sewer forming hydrogen sulfide gas, which is corrosive and attacks the piping materials. The pH of the outflow from sewage treatment facilities is highly regulated by the federal EPA and state agencies.

The effect of high pH levels?
The value of high pH indicates the basicity of that substance.
Why is the pH in my pool always high?
High chlorine levels will make the pH in your pool high. You can add borates to help stabilize the pH level in your pool.
How can you fix high pH levels?
add a solution to it that has a low pH level (an acid) to neutralise it, or bring it down slightly. What is it that has the high pH?
High pH levels indicate what?
A basic solution.
What is a high pH level for acid?
Levels from 1.0 to 6.9 are considered as acidic pH

How does pH level affects the river?
They affect the river by changing the temperature of the water, if the pH levels are high then the water is warmer and if the pH levels are low then the water is cold.
Can high levels of ketones in the blood lead to high pH of urine?
yes
Can the active site of an enzyme be damaged at very high pH levels?
The active site of an enzyme can very much be influenced and damaged by a very high pH level. An enzyme is a protein, and because of that it is very sensitive to pH levels. High pH can denature a protein, and thus "damage" the active site.
Do bases have a high pH?
No, they have a low PH. Acids have a high PH. But they can both be dangerous at high and low levels so be careful! FUN FACT: Technically, paper is an acid. You write on acid all the time!
How does the pH of soap affect how well it works?
Higher PH levels in soap means there is more alkalinity in the formula. As a result, soap can wash away oils, grease and dirt better with high PH levels.
What causes high pH levels in pools?
The nature of gunite pools is the make up of the gunite - it has lime in it. It has high alkaline levels. Also, the make up water may have high levels of alkalinity. Adjust your pH and adjust as needed with muratic acid and monitor your alkalinity by using a test kit.
