Nonsense.

Do you have any idea of the chlorine demand to sterilize 1000 gallons of
ripe poo? Or the concept of "chlorine demand" itself?

Has it occured to you that oxidizers like chlorine are instantly consumed
by reducing agents in sewage?

Are you aware that bacteria reproduce? If you kill one-zillionth of them
with a little bleach, the other zillion that are left will happily
equilibrate in hours.
