New opportunity to learn about how wastewater is cleaned with a new tour at the treatment works at Budds Farm
A new opportunity is being offered for people to go behind the scenes at the Budds Farm Wastewater Treatment Works so they can see for themselves the work which is carried out on site to clean our wastewater.
A new Budds Farm Education Centre was officially opened by Southern Water’s Managing Director for Waste, John Penicud, with Year 3 pupils from Arundel CofE Primary School the first to experience the “Beyond the Drain” tour and workshop at the Havant site.
With a guide, headset and wearing safety gear, visitors can follow the journey of wastewater as its travels through the treatment process, learning how we manage everything that goes down the drain and how storm overflows work.
Visitors can also discover the history of sewers, the role in the water cycle, and the steps being taken to improve the health of rivers and seas.
