    I haven’t ever run a water treatment plant and I’m suspecting you haven’t either.
    They’re probably designed, like semiautomated residential waste collection, to operate within certain parameters that are relatively inscrutable to outsiders. And honestly I’ll trust the person who decides to work in wastewater reclamation over anybody operating a data center.
