Lunch and Learn - Wastewater Today with Tim Ervin, Bloomington Normal Water Reclamation District

Join the Museum and Illinois Wesleyan University for the second Lunch and Learn of the 2022-2023 season, which will explore the wastewater treatment process in our community with Tim Ervin, Executive Director of the Bloomington-Normal Water Reclamation District (BNWRD). Wastewater treatment is a process to reduce pollutants from sewage and transform the sewage into effluent that can be returned to the water cycle. This program will discuss the origin of wastewater treatment in Bloomington-Normal and its evolution to the modern wastewater treatment facilities in operation today. The presentation will also provide a glimpse of the current and future challenges faced in the wastewater industry, and local actions currently underway to address these issues.
