abc Wednesday::Effluent


The treatment plants.


Pump house which discharges the treated effluent to the sea. The pond in front acts as a storage buffer for high flow during the wet season.

Lots of water birds like swans, ducks make their homes there.

This is probably a place you don't go to visit. It is our Mangere effluent treatment plant. My husband is a water engineer and he deals with both clean water and not so clean water. Even when he is not working, he likes to visit places related to his work. I tag along to take photos.

The smell is not too bad. There are even walking tours round the area.
