A winter wastewater wonderland?
When the temps drop below freezing and the wastewater flowing through our treatment plants’ outdoor tanks is a near-constant 50ºF, the result is a whole lotta steam cascading across the plant landscape. Southerly Operator Christen Wood sent us a beautiful photo of the result.
The steam freezes to nearby trees. The ice crystals didn’t last long, though; she sent a follow-up photo a few short hours later after the sunrise.
