The treatment facility employs state-of-the-art technology for a cleaner effluent and odorless operation. An installation by artist Jane Tsong illustrates the treatment process to visitors through poetry, and “blesses” the water before it is released.
The education center makes use of reclaimed wood in its construction. Concrete masonry unit walls provide building mass that store heat and eliminate the need for air conditioning.
