Southern Water - Sewerwise!
Harry from Southern Water came to end our topic with a fun Sewerwise 'game show' where we learned lots of things about what happens AFTER food has been digested and left our bodies! Freddie and Henry were scribes and Henry chose three fun facts to share with you:
- The 3 P's are 'pee, poo and paper'. These are the only things that should be flushed.
- All the waste goes in a settlement tank and they scoop it all up and give it to the farmers.
- It takes a couple of weeks for the process to be done.
Thanks Freddie!
