PUMP STATION & TREATMENT
Wow that’s why it’s so clean! Then what happens after people use it? Drago did you know that Rotorua’s Water Supply is from springs?
Can we check it out? Well Drago…. underground are 500 km
- f sewer pipes taking it to
the Wastewater Treatment Plant
The Treatment Plant’s down there Drago Hang on then mate we’re cruising down to take a look!
Check this out. See what people have done to the
- water. Gross!
- Cool. I wish I could
see them! Natural bugs (microscopic
- rganisms) are grown here to treat
the wastewater. They’re even fed alcohol to give them more energy!
Can we take a look at that too! Look how clean it is now that the sludge has settled out. Later this treated effluent will be sprayed onto Whakarewarewa Forest.
No mate. Those ponds store the treated effluent. Each day it’s sprayed on the forest and passes through wetlands and mother earth before entering waterways again. Were those swimming pools back there?
Waipa Stream
Any phosphorus that was still in the treated effluent is held in these volcanic soils. Cool! This looks great!
