There are some pretty nasty acids in cola - this is what is in lime scale remover and most of the cheap toilet descalers. 

 

Oh, glad I don’t drink it then ?, does it do a treatment plant any harm?

The main active ingredient is phosphoric acid.  It's very unlikely to do any harm to the treatment plant, mainly as the concentration would be pretty low.

 

Phosphoric acid is also the stuff used to convert ferric oxide into ferric phosphate, the black anti-corrosion coating seen on things like guns.
