Earlier this month, we hosted graduate and doctoral students from Egypt at our Southeast Water Pollution Control Plant and Northeast Water Pollution Control Plant. Students toured the facilities and learned how we treat our City's wastewater before releasing it back into the rivers. We are grateful they came to learn and hope they succeed in their studies so they can one day join our team!
