Market snapshot
These figures describe Water & Wastewater Treatment Equipment Manufacturing (5.7.8), the segment that Wastewater Treatment Plant Equipment sits within — not Wastewater Treatment Plant Equipment on its own.
Water-treatment equipment spans pumps, filtration, membrane, and disinfection across several NAICS codes (e.g., 333911/333999/333413) and is not separately disclosed by the Census Bureau, so the segment is not separately sized here.
