Our South Treatment Plant in Renton earned top honors for perfect compliance with its environmental permits. But this amazing facility is also helping to fight climate change by becoming a major local producer of clean, renewable biofuels being used in commercial trucks. . . . #sustainability #climatechange #renewableenergy #cng #wastewater #recycling #energy #naturalgas #environment @pugetsoundenergy @recologycleanscapes
“This is the ‘Experienced Water Project’,” said Vashon Treatment Plant operator and long-time Islander Greg Burnham. The Vashon Plant was just honored with the Department of Ecology’s coveted “Outstanding Performance Award” for another year of perfect compliance with state and federal water quality permits, operating with zero violations of any kind. King County built the plant, which started operating in 2007, to replace an old, poorly-working sewer system. The plant today treats about 180,000 gallons of wastewater daily for 1,100 people who live within the Vashon Sewer District, and can treat up to 1.4 million gallons during storms. . . . #sewer #sewage # wastewater #awards #wastewateroperations #Ecology #PugetSound #SalishSea @ecologywa
It isn’t often that veggies from our tiny little urban farm make it into the kitchens of Seattle’s best chefs. This weekend, local chefs from @larkseattle @kringlesbakery have farm to table food grown with #recycledwater and Loop #biosolids at the CHOMP! festival’s community kitchen. Head out there and sample it for yourself! Big thanks #CitySoilFarm for all the yummy veggies and fruit 😊 🥕💚🍓 Loop and recycled water will be at the @kingcountychomp festival Saturday Aug 18 from 10am-4pm. In addition to fresh healthy food, we have a soil safari and a water table at our booth. There’s also live music and fun for all ages - event info at chomplocal.org 📷: @kingcountyparks
