The new Okanagan Falls waste water treatment plant

Fire practice last night consisted of a tour of the new Okanangan Falls Wastewater treatment site. Interesting, but smelly in places...hee hee

Here's a couple pictures of what's there.

As you can see here, one of the bioreactors isn't in use. According to Lisa, "it prefers to remain empty when not in use."

However as you can see here, the exterior of it has water in it. It's agitated regularly but this reactor is not in use.

Okanagan Falls runs on one reactor right now. It was interesting to see how the waste was filtered, fed bugs which kept the gases down and then after much filtering, recycling and filting (it gets done 3X I think she said) before leaving the plant.

According to the tour this plant is based on an all natural rinse, recycle, reuse process.

I've attached a link to the RDOS plans because it shows the details of the whole area.
