Water Treatment Plant

What I Learned:

Yesterday at the water treatment plant I learned some different things they did for our city that I never actually knew they did, and how they ran things. To create good water pressure in the city we have two water towers, and together the towers total up to a million gallons of water. The water that we use has chemicals that they add at the plant, but not bad chemicals, they use flouride for our teeth and bones because its good for it, as well as chlorine and phosphorus. Our whole town is based around water, even underground, there is a stream of pipe work under the city which carries 32 miles of water through out the city, which is used for all purposes. Now what would happen if there was a black out and no power to run the plant, how would water be carried through the cities? The answer to that is the back up generator they store inside the plant, it's used for emergency purposes in case power outages and if we have no power that we can still have the use of water.
