I just meant that in some other place (probably other countries) it's pretty normal to water your plants with at least gray water. Probably not the sewage itself; I don't think human poo makes great fertilizer.
Septic systems IME work pretty well for watering/fertilizing plants. The greenest part of my yard in the summer is the leach field. Of course that itself is a crude form of water treatment and not pure waste water being dumped into the soil.
Though I'm not sure I would want to eat any plants watered/fertilized by my septic system...
Now that a lot of people do . Again whether they treat the water first is the question...
They do treat it. I remember reading that it's drinkable in the sense that it's sterile and won't harm you, but it tastes salty.
