Waste Your Time With Us: Excursion to the Wastewater Treatment and Sludge Utilization Plant Werdhölzli

Wastewater treatment plants handle the organics of thousands of people living in dense city areas. They break down complex organic materials into their original components and through this clean wastewater before releasing it in the natural water system. Through this they keep our rivers clean, regain important materials such as phosphorus and even produce electricity and heating energy for the district heating system. They imitate natural processes, which happen in rivers, but do it in a far more intensified and technologically controlled way. Sounds pretty cool right? Come and join us for this excursion and learn more about this fascinating and critical infrastructure of urbanized life. We will meet either 14:15 at Polybahn or 14:45 at the Treatment Plant (Bändlistrasse 108, 8064 Zürich).
