This last Wednesday we went on a field trip to Scottsdale Water Campus. It was very interesting and surprisingly pretty. For those who don’t know, the city of Scottsdale is to the east of Phoenix and it is very wealthy.
The entrance to the water treatment plant.
We started the tour in a freezing cold room and got the talk about how great they are at what they do. I have to say, I had a migraine and therefore was not as impressed as I should have been. Apparently the site is the world’s largest Vasdose Zone groundwater-recharge well field, looking back that is pretty cool.
We were given ear buds and machines so we could hear the tour guild better in the loud rooms(did I say Scottsdale is rich?) then we finally got to leave the frigid cold!
Rows and rows of RO filters

Yeah, the water campus was great an all, but there were no squirrels to be seen.
