Some of the rare earth metals are extremely valuable and are only available in suitable deposits for mining in a few places. Getting them rather closer to home falls kind of into category of economic security, since China recently did cut off Japan from all rare earth imports for a bit.

areas that currently DON'T have any kind of large scale water treatment infrastructure would probably get the most benefit from it as it could offset the initial investment.

It would be great if the good shit they could pull out of the shit could offset the cost of removing the bad shit (eg cadmium, lead) from the shit so the processed shit could be safe to use as fertilizer.
