I learned a lot at the sewer plant. I learned that before the sewage goes anywhere it goes through 2 different grinders. One is for grinding toys and things people throw down the toilet. The other is for grinding stones and rocks out of it also. Then the people in the lab test the water for multiple organisms that might be in the sewage. Then it goes to a tub looking thing that has turbines in it to take the oxygen out of the water, there are NO bubbles in it. Then it goes to the littler tubs and they have faster turbines in them tho put the oxygen back into the water. The next step we skipped. Then they go into these huge tub looking things and they spin the sewage around really fast hitting the walls. The next step is the last step before it goes to the Grand River. This steps is like a mushroom at a water park. Its takes the sewage and pushes it over the edges and it kind of filters it. Then it gets to the top and all of the solids sink to the bottom. The water finally gets to the very top and goes over the edge and it looks like good clean water.
Recycling
Recycling was fun. It was interesting to see actually how much Eaton Rapids is recycling. I may recycle again... it depends.
