Are there high Ph levels in sewage?
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.
