It depends on who is doing the discharging. In the United States, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates waste water discharge under the Clean Water Act. Other countries will have their own regulations.
Unfortunately, the law is not always followed. If you have any questions or complaints you should contact your local authorities.

How it happen water pollution?
Water pollution occurs when contaminants are released into the water body such as the ocean or rivers. The water mainly occurs when we discharged untreated sewage or waste into the water. The main causes of water pollution are industrial wastes, house hold waste and chemicals. The used water of a community is called waste water or sewage.

How is water discharged into the sea?
Most water flows through rivers. Sewage is usually treated, by digestion of the organic matter by microorganisms, followed by allowing the sludge to settle before it is discharged to rivers or the sea. When the amount of water exceeds the capability of the sewage plant to treat it, raw sewage is discharged to sea. This can be done safely if a long enough pipe is used, and beaches are closed for a period after the discharge.

( Only if it goes into a main sewer ). First, the solids are removed by filters and settling tanks. Then, the liquid is oxygenated to remove bacteria. When it is around 90% pure (pure enough to drink), it is discharged into the local water course to be used again or else it would make its way into the sea.
