Sewer Treatment

On friday when we ventured over to the sewer treatment plant i learned quite a bit. Although all that i learned doesnt apply to me because i live in the country and my used water goes into a septic tank rather than being filtered through the city and reused. I also learned that to put on the entire production a lot of thought goes into how it all works; and for the end result which is basically to have cleaner water flowing into the river.  Todd took us through the facility and showed us where the the pressure for the water flow through out the facility comes from, which is through the blowers that are there and when we (the city) has a power outage the facility will still be able to run the blowers because they have two huge diesel generators to run everything on. It was rather interesting how much of a prodution it is just for used water to be regenerated.
