Gross and problematic: Record-sized fatberg found in Perth, Australia last week. 😢🤢😡 You can help prevent fatbergs. Only flush human waste and toilet paper. No wipes, hygiene products, trash or FOGs (fat, oils & grease) should go down drains. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03...

Not quite moonlight on a lake, but site lighting on a relatively calm selector basin on a quiet morning. Beautiful infrastructure, waiting for the storm. A 6 am capture by operations manager and water engineer Alan Grooms. #WorldEngineeringDay

Our bathroom designs (Pee-S-As) for the Madison Public Market are coming along! Local creative studio Art & Sons is leading our space design for 14 total bathrooms on both floors of the market. Check out these BTS pics from our recent hard hat tour of construction progress.

Snow day? Snow away! ❄️ Clear pavement (and save salt) with a scraper and shovel!

A giant fatberg and the threat of venue toilet overflows caused Bryan Adams to cancel his Sunday concert. Seems his song "Everything I do, I do it for you" couldn't be any more true. #OnlyFlushPeePooTP www.cnn.com/2025/02/10/e...

Aging infrastructure. UGH. Mechanics do preventative maintenance on the large drive for Final Clarifier 19 to help avoid system failure. We estimate that these drives date back to the 1950s or 1960s and show significant wear in the broken ball bearings and damage to the gear.

Coming soon: pro video edit to tell the story of clean water for the greater Madison area. Yep, some days are just super cool at the treatment plant.
