Getting the Big Stuff Out

Tommy the toilet paper roll describes Primary Treatment--the process that first removes the big things that end up in the treatment system.

Good Eating for Bugs

Dotty shows how good bacteria (a.k.a. bugs) eat the waste when provided with oxygen in the water. Secondary Clarifiers then push the sludge to the bottom of the tank where it is removed. Finally, disinfecting takes place to finish the job!

Storm Drains are Different from Sewers

Dotty illustrates how the storm drains and your sewer system are not the same. Sewage is treated at the water treatment plant while storm water goes directly into the creeks, bays and oceans--and both must be kept clean!

Let's Stop Water Pollution

You can help reduce pollution by flushing only toilet paper, pee and poop, and keeping the wrong things out of our sewer and storm systems.

FOG Shouldn't Go into our Drains

Fats, Oils & Grease don't belong in our storm or sewer system. Learn some fun ways to avoid putting FOG in the wrong places.
