Have you ever wondered what happens to the water that runs into the drains in your home? Where does waste water go? DCI Consumers were eager to learn more about this mystery. Therefore, a tour was scheduled.
Daily Companions, Inc. Consumers toured the plant for the Wastewater Division of the City of Hagerstown, MD. On the tour they learned about the process by which dirty wastewater is recycled into clean water again. They were able to see what equipment is used to perform each step of the process.
Who knew “bugs” were involved? Yes, that’s right! Bacteria, or micro-organisms, are critical to the operations. The bacteria, or bugs, need to be fed and oxygenated. As a result, the bacteria get rid of the waste in the water, and help return the water to a clean state. A rather “smelly” process!
DCI Consumers enjoyed the tour very much. Their tour guide, Mr. Mills, was very informative; it was plain he knows and enjoys his job. Now the mystery is solved. What a fascinating tour!
