Water is essential for all living things.
With growing population demands for clear, clean, pure water an increasing emphasis has been placed on higher standards for waste water treatment plants. The Texarkana Waste Water Treatment Plant is a high tech, complex dual operation that is composed of waste water processing and bio-solid composting facilities. Many citizens of Bowie and surrounding counties have no idea of the processes that are used to treat water and biodegradable solid waste in our region. We all settled in for some presentations on composting and vermiculture while the rain came down outside. We began our day in the Water Treatment plant classroom.
