Post Water Treatment Blog

1. Explain how water is filtered and cleaned in a city for drinking.

The water goes from a well and through the town to the homes. It goes through the treatment plant and goes through a series of filters so it doesnt have anything that could harm you.


2. Explain how sewer water is treated and returned to the river or lake.

It is disposed trough the sewar and transported to the waste water treatment plant and from there it is cycled through filteres where it cleans all the water and is then transported to the Grand River

3. 2 good questions to ask tomorrow.

A: When was this plant built?
B: What happens if the filters break?

Sewer Treatment Plant Blog

During my time at the sewer treatment plant i learned that all the waste water that comes in is only like 1% actually waste. Once it gets to the treatment plant it goes through a series of tests and filters which then cleans all the water and from there it is cycled through and put into the grand river. I aslo learned that they have pipes that run to each of the main sewer drains, which is how it gets to the plant.

During my time at the recycling center i recycled grease, plastic, and paper. Although it smelt very bad i had a lot of fun about recyling. It made me eel good about myself and i felt as if i was making a difference. Yes i would love to recycle again only next time i want to recycle glass.
