Water Never Tasted So Good

August 16, 2012

Did you know that Gladstone pumped 120 million gallons of water to its citizens in June? Have you ever wondered how it got there? Seven guys working 24/7 make it all possible. 

On July 11th, Steve and Justin from Gladstone's water treatment plant led the Antioch homeschoolers on a tour of the plant. From well water to that thirst quenching drink we crave in the heat, we saw the cleaning, filtering, and transporting process. After the tour, the homeschoolers played a game of water trivia with - you guessed it - water related prizes. Thanks guys for a great time. Water never tasted so good.
