Blog Post - Touring the Water Treatment Plant


We went and toured the North Liberty Water Treatment Plant in order to fulfill requirement 5A of the Public Health Merit Badge. We got there really early and first toured the waste collection area where all of the waste water gets collected from all North Liberty homes. Then we went to the water treatment and filtering building and looked at the machines inside.



Then we exited the building and walked over to the waste settling tanks and anaerobic tanks. After we saw those machines, we looked inside the back up generator. Then we went to the building where they store solid waste. And just like that, we completed requirement 5A of the Public Health Merit Badge.


We thanked the tour guide and left around noon. My favorite thing was probably looking at the machines because they were cool.
