VT Seva Chicago conducted waste water treatment plant tour on 04/03/26 with 11 volunteers participating. We visited the plant in Deerfield. We got a "behind-the-scenes" look at how our waste water goes from raw intake to crystal clear. It was such an interesting and eye-opening tour about what it takes to treat water that we consume and waste every day and the resources it takes to run the facility and amount of water that's treated each day. Supervisor there, guided the tour of the facility. He explained the full process very well and answered all of our questions clearly. It was amazing to see how waste water becomes clean water again. He also gave us the tour of their lab and went over more of the technical details. This tour did leave an impact on each one of us about how much water gets wasted every day and how many resources are needed to clean it again!!! Thanks everyone who were able to join the tour and get educated about water!
