Wastewater Treatment Poster Contest
Poster Contest Theme
Ever wonder where the water from your sinks, showers, bathtubs, toilets, washing machines and dishwashers goes when it leaves your home? This used water, or "wastewater", must be cleaned before it can be released to the environment. At a wastewater treatment plant, this water is treated to remove dangerous, disease causing bacteria and suspended solids before the remaining water, called effluent, is discharged back to the environment. If not for wastewater treatment, untreated wastewater from our homes and businesses would pollute the lakes and streams that we fish and swim in.
Show how wastewater treatment plants must protect our waters!
