Today we learned how water is purified at the Dan A Christiansen Water Treatment Plant in Orem, Utah. What a great field trip! We saw the whole process in person, up close and personal. What was your favorite part? I liked the purification room where they had all the chemicals and the rainbow pipes above our head that tells the engineers which chemical is in each pipe. To me that seemed like such a simple solution compared to the mind blowing other machinery we got to see. Water from the Deer Creek Reservoir goes to the Provo River and then into the treatment plant! So cool! Out with the old (pipe) and in with the new, bigger and better Olmstead Aqueduct Pipeline near Bridal Veil Falls, Provo, Utah for Central Utah Water Conservancy. I hope this trip was a good start to a wonderful spring break! Have a great time doing all that you want to do!

everybody comment on what their favorite part of the tour was because my favorite part was the place where both the sound & the smell were super relaxing.

That field trip to the water plant treatment center was amazing. I hope that we can go on more field trips through out the year. Thanks for making science so fun Mrs.Taylor.

Mrs. TaylorI love science! Everything about the world is interesting and never boring. I love to study plants, animals, insects, and people. My favorite subjects are my students who are the most unique organisms on the planet! Categories |
