    So how did the ducks get inside the sewage treatment plant, especially the fenced-in part... are they... swimming in raw sewage? yuck indeed!

    The fence surrounds the whole sewage treatment plant area, but this area is the only open area (not an enclosed building) within the complex. So the birds just fly in and swim around. Not sure what kind of water is in there. I'm assuming it's 'ok' water since it's out in the open.

    That area in the plant is probably the final stages of reclamation, after clorination and longer detention time there just before being released to the ocean or used as reclaimed water for irrigation uses.
    Have a great day!

    It does go out into the river that's across the street so this is probably that last step till it's released.

    Thank-you for the information. I was hoping someone would know :D

    I'd not want to fall in there either rolleyes1.gif

    I toured this place when I was in elementery school long ago. I'll have to ask if I can walk around in there since the ice formations during the winter are awesome.
