Surprising Things Found at Idaho Falls Wastewater Treatment Plant (Video Tour)
Published on by Water Network Research, Official research team of The Water Network in Government
Wedding rings, toys, and dentures-- You might be surprised at some of the things that make it down the drain and end up at the Idaho Falls Wastewater Treatment Plant.
The plant handles 9.5 million gallons of wastewater per day from Idaho Falls, the Iona/Bonneville Sewer District and Ucon.
"We have over 300 miles of pipe that actually bring wastewater to this particular facility," Public Works Director Chris Fredericksen says.
What enters the wastewater treatment plant is vastly different from what comes out and, at the end of the process, human waste is hardly considered "waste" anymore; rather, "biosolid."
