Yorkshire Water // Science Behind – Episode 8 – How does Wastewater Treatment work?

Every day we collect and treat over a billion litres of wastewater from Yorkshire’s homes and businesses, including rainwater that falls on roofs and roads.

But how do wastewater treatment plants work?

In our latest episode of the Science Behind Guy & Nicola (our Community Engagement Team Leader) will take you a tour around Knostrop Wastewater Treatment Works with the site’s Product and Process Manager, Mitch. We look at how much waste we treat on a daily basis for one of our cities and how large Jacuzzis help with the cleaning process.
