The Treatment and Use of Sewage Water programme started at CEPIS twenty years ago in order to contribute to increasing the sewage water treatment network in the region using technologies that would allow for the removal of pathogenic organisms as well as  organic materials. So far, CEPIS and the various Peruvian institutions have carried out a series of experiments on the treatment and use of sewage water at the Bio-Ecological Complex in San Juan, south of Lima, Peru.
