There will be lots of small-scale private systems that in effect do that, but obviously on a very small scale.
Our loos discharge into an ancient private underground pit of some sort, and eventually water seeps out through a reed bed, into a gulley down the road, and then into a stream and then a bigger stream and then a small river and eventually into the main Tivy water works at Llechryd.
We don't drink it though- our water comes from a private spring uphill of the house.
