Yes you can drink the effluent but have never seen anybody actually do it. What happens in cities with combined sewer systems for black water and storm runoff is this huge inflow can be so huge that the wastewater treatment plant can't handle it all so it fills up basins until they can hold no more than it its diverted untreated to the nearby river typically where the treated effluent would go.
