Track water from home to treatment plant and sea via Zip?

You know those web sites, e.g. when contacting your representatives, where you enter your zip code and your rep's contact info pops up? I'm interested in a similar interface to track sewage and water flow. It would be great to provide a way for people to see exactly where and how their soapy laundry water, etc., goes, if and to what extent it's treated, environmental impact and so on. This may encourage people to buy environmentally safer cleaners. If you know of such a site, or could refer a relevant party, it would be much appreciated.

2. Why need a zip code?

All you need to do is look at a map ... your waste goes through your
sewage farm and into the river to be extracted by the next community
downstream, fed through their water processing plant and into their tap.
Obviously, the same has happened to the next community upstream too but
it is *your* tap that is dispensing *their* ex-sewage.

In general, the people nearest to the rainfall get the cleanest water
while those closest to the sea get the most shit.

(I realise that this may not apply to some parts of the US, especially
those on the coast who simply dump their waste into the sea, but again,
you don't need a zip code to see this - just a boat trip ...)

3. Actually, thinking about your title ...

... I suppose it's fair to say that most waste water goes from tap
to sea via "zip" ... certainly for the men ...
