It is this sludge that is recycled Cleaned and chlorinated water is then sent to the Grand River. Some of the sludge is sent to "digesters" rather than reâ€" eycled within the system. It eventually ends up on area farmers fields due to its high phosphorus and ammonia nitroâ€" gen content. The waste entering the plant is 99.9 per cent water, accordâ€" ing to superintendent Ethier. secondary facilities were built in 1976; primary treatment at the plant dates from 1968. Here‘s how it works: Waste water enters the plant form Waterloo and the Bridgeâ€" port area of Kitchener. It first receives preliminary treatment â€" the water is passed through shredders and coarse screens, which filter out large objects nm‘lgrit.'.'he Then primary treatment begins. Sediment is removed by passing the water through clarâ€" ifiers, with sludge settling out. The waters are then passed through an aeration tank, where this "primary effluent" is mixed with "return activated sludge" â€" sludge that has l;uttlzdwt further'lc{o:m the ine is sludge hublcten:m.vhenmxed with the oxygen at this stage eats the organic matter in sewâ€" Putman y presented by the Watcloohmficulm-ll Society and the city of Waterloo. ing on line.

One of the biggest problems Ethier confronts is people sendâ€" the sink. The whole treatment process depends on bacteria â€" when people pour oil or heavy metals down the sewer, an ‘""upset" can occur, knocking out the bacteria and making adeâ€" quate treatment difficult.
