Southern Water

Southern Water today's host for 24 U3A members. Three members of staff came to educate and enlighten us one all the way from Worthing. We split into two parties as the room limited the group to hear the presentation. I joined the group to go out first and it was sunny and quite warm which helped the enjoyment. We were shown where the water first entered the system and the initial cleaning and the various buildings where the water was further treated by running through sand and the adding of the chlorine. The independent supply of electricity was in the main building and consisted of large engines that supply power to the grid. An excellent buffet lunch was provided altogether a very good outing.
