Bacteria can clean up anything,look at all the recycling of water carried out along the rivers in the UK.Due to the presence of heavy metals some of it may not be potable,but is certainly good for irrigation. Research is ongoing but waste water has been cleaned up for donkies years in Britain and ireland.I think that the US lags behind a bit on this one.
