The treatment plants.
Pump house which discharges the treated effluent to the sea. The pond in front acts as a storage buffer for high flow during the wet season.
Lots of water birds like swans, ducks make their homes there.

This is probably a place you don't go to visit. It is our Mangere effluent treatment plant. My husband is a water engineer and he deals with both clean water and not so clean water. Even when he is not working, he likes to visit places related to his work. I tag along to take photos.
The smell is not too bad. There are even walking tours round the area.

It is good there are many ways to clean the water before it is released. That used to not be a concern.
It is good to know things like this though, and fascinating info..
A really interesting post for the E Day, Ann, and good information for us all to know! Hope you have a great week!
