Hyperion Water Plant Reclamation Tour 4th- 12 graders

Hyperion Water Reclamation Plant is the City’s oldest and largest wastewater treatment facility. The plant has been operating since 1894 with multiple expansions and improvements over the last 100+ years.

On the tour, you will learn what happens to everything that goes down the drain in homes and businesses. Sewage contains mostly water and solids. As you go through the tour, notice that many of the treatment processes at the plants are designed to separate solids from water. This must occur so that when the wastewater is completely treated, it is clean enough to be pumped into a body of water or recycled for other uses. The solids have value too – they are sent back into the sewer system and flow to the Hyperion Water Reclamation Plant (HWRP) where they are processed into energy resources, soil amendments, and fertilizer.
