​

Cog is joined by 2 good buddies, and one is human. Join the trio as they take a tour of the wastewater treatment plant and find out how we clean wastewater (sewer water) by separating out the garbage, sludge, and water. The two dogs (Cog and Cosmo) can't decide if this is the best or worst field trip ever as they learn about the processes involved in cleaning wastewater, like raking, clarifying (using sedimentation), digestion, and sterilization. Lots of great science here!
