Answer: A. To remove harmful substances from wastewater before releasing or reusing it

The primary purpose of a sewage treatment plant is to clean dirty water from homes and businesses so it is safe to release back into nature. It removes human waste, trash, and harmful germs before the water goes into rivers, lakes, or the ground.
