Town+Water+and+Sewer+Field+Experience

Before going on your field experience to the water and sewage treatment sites in your town, please answer the following questions to the best of your ability (as a class). You can make predictions based on what you know now, and then you can find out how close you came to the answers by taking these questions along on your trip and by asking the experts to help you with the answers.

What do you think you will see there?

What do you think happens to the water at the waterworks and sewage treatment?

Where does the water from your tap come from?

How is the water treated and processed before you drink it?

Does everyone in your town use public water supply? Why or why not?

What percentage of the residents in your town use wells on their own property?
