At the sewer treatment plant yesterday the man walked us through the process of treating the water. He told us how the water entered the plant, and that the first biuling it goes through is the first biulding you see when you enter the area. Then from there it goes to an area where it is treated. The water goes through a very long cycle before it is entered into the river. The water sewer treatment plant in our town has a secondary cleaning system, which isn't how it was origanally biult, but was added on. Also i learned that the big tank that they have will fill up in about twelve ours if it needs to be used. He also showed us the lab that they use to test the water, and do any other tests that need to be ran at the plant.
I thought that it was cool that we all got to go and recycle things. For me it wasn't the first time, because my family recycles plastic, aluminum, glass, paper and stirofoam. On top of that we also have our own compost bin at our house, so we're pretty much an eco-friendly family.
