As the Bluffton Park Department’s Senior Snippets classes began the first “How’s It Made” series. The class tackled the topic of Bluffton’s Wastewater with the treatment plant’s manager Tony Fey. He explained that the first treatment plant was completed in 1935 with a second added in 1967. He shared photos of the progress being made on the new plant now under construction. Program attendees also learned that after Bluffton’s wastewater is treated at the plant it can safely be returned to the Wabash River, meeting strict ecological standards and laws. Next program in the series will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 3 and feature information on Weg. (Photo by Barbara Barbieri)
