My Sewage Facility

As far as I can tell, there is only one sewage treatment plant that serves the area I live. It is East Bay Municipal Utility District's wastewater treatment plant located at 2020 Wake Avenue in Oakland, CA. This treatment plant treats 63 million gallons of wastewater daily serving 685,000 people on the East Bay shoreline. The sewage that is treated there becomes green energy, nutrient-rich soil conditioner, and recycled water that gets released into the San Francisco Bay.

    Interesting facts. How did you feel about recycling water when you found out the information? I always get amazed by such beautiful ideas people came up with to support the environment.

    This specific wastewater treatment plant is certainly one I would want to implement in my hometown! It is great that recycled water gets released back into the Bay! Being green and using green energy sources is the future!
