Waste water treatment facilities are an essential requirement for a Martian settlement. A number of the following processes may be required, depending on the contaminants present in the water. Waste Potable treatment facilities are very similar to water treatment facilities, but treat less heavily contaminated water. In a closed loop system, the cleaned waste water is returned to the potable water treatment system for re-use. The water distribution system links the two ends of the water infrastructure.

Waste water treatment plant
The first waste water treatment plants will be packaged units provided from Earth. These types of units are already produced on Earth for buildings and communities isolated from the larger centralized waste water treatment plants available for towns and cities.
