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. Participants were amazed to find that SWB pumping power enables them to fill an Olympic-size swimming pool in 1.5 seconds!
