Hyrum Sewer Plant

 

 So we went to the Hyrum Sewer Plant this summer and learned all about what they do with our poo! 

It didn't smell as bad as we thought it would. The worker who did the tour was very informative and we learned a lot. The process is so complete that they say you could drink the water after it goes through this process. That it is better than some 3rd world countries and what they have to drink for water. None of us were brave enough to drink the water.  After they are all done they release the water and it goes down stream! The system they currently use is newer they have only been doing it for just over a year. The sludge that is pulled out is dried and turned into fertilizer. The fields around them that use the "sludge" yield some of the biggest crops in the valley. 

We are super thankful for facilities like this and the men that run them who clean up our stuff and make this world not so stinky and way more sanitary!!!
