| Sewage Treatment Plant Tour |

|
On June 26th, the class toured Prague's Central Wastewater Treatment Plant. | ||||||||
|
After breakfast, we hopped on a city bus and then walked to the Imperial Island of | ||||||||
|
the Vltava River. Ahhhh...the scent of fresh sewage filled the air. The plant manages | ||||||||
|
waste for up to 1.5 million people, 94% of the Prague area sewage. The plant removes | ||||||||
|
carbon pollutants, denitrifies, and removes phosphorus through many different | ||||||||
|
biological, chemical, and mechanical processes we were so fortunate to see firsthand. | ||||||||
|
When the treatment has been completed, the freshly cleaned water returns to the river. | ||||||||
|
After a very interesting and educational morning, we went back to eat lunch. Yum! |
