Wastewater Laboratory for High School Students
Laboratory Materials
|
The Sewer Science curriculum has been created as an educational
outreach tool for wastewater treatment plants or educational
organizations. Our equipment is currently available
to schools in our service area. However, other agencies are
building their own lab kits and loaning them to high school
teachers in their service areas.
