The day was sunny, a little cool but pleasant. Passing through the LRC, I picked up a newspaper; and to my surprise, there was an article about a waste treatment plant being built in Tulare. Those words meant so much to me because I'm from Tulare County. I have smelled sewage, seen sewage, and worked in sewage. Every county should be required to invest in a wastewater treatment plant, regardless of the cost. Taxpayers can help, they should help. My friends and I had to work at the sewage treatment plant when we were just entering our teens. Every time we got into trouble, it was our punishment from the courts. Every time we appeared before the judge, he sent us to the sewage plant. You see, twenty years ago, this was the dirtiest job in the valley for me. As soon as I arrived at the factory, I really wanted to know more about how it worked, what process it took to make everything go smoothly. Since I was going to spend the entire summer working for the county for free, it was time to get something out of this county jail sentence. We all thought about it and started asking questions; about everything; how it worked, why it worked and why did we need it. It was the only way to find out about wastewater, to ask questions; after we started discovering more and more, it became so interesting that we started reading more and more about it. It was so fascinating to learn something about Mother Nature and how it works with wastewater. The more we learned about wastewater, the more I wanted to know what it was doing to the valley itself. If there is no place to dispose of waste water; not good, we would be like foreign countries, with our waste running in the street, our waste in their backyards,...... in the middle of a paper ......k which dealt with the ethics and professional misconduct; total quality management. Also related to customer relations, communication skills (Roper, et. al.). Given the current state of wastewater, I believe every county should have a wastewater protection program plan in order, or in the near future, on a county supervisor's desk as soon as possible. Feeling good about this program is only the surface of the problem. This program should expand nationally; maybe all over the world. Work Cited McKay, Gordon. Wastewater.
