On Saturday, April 29, Civic Leadership Academy students were treated to a fascinating tour of the Sewerage and Water Board Plant by General Superintendent, Joe Becker. Highlights of the tour included visiting the full scale power plant, and an in depth look at the New Orleans water purification process. Partipants were amazed to find that SWB pumps have the capacity to fill an Olympic-size swimming pool in 1.5 seconds! It was a very informative morning.
