Narrator – N1 (Alanna Wright)

N1: I think it’s a little bit different from most treatment plants. It is absolutely massive, it’s the size of Phillip Island.

N1: It’s a treatment plant, it’s a Ramsar wetland, it has resource recovery.

N1: Every change in the process or every different type of treatment that we put in place is another step to improvement.

[A painting shows an aerial view of the Western Treatment Plant key operation areas, including giant tanks called clarifiers which assist with secondary treatment of sewage] 

N1: Being more efficient and I guess, being able to serve the community better.
