Sludge Watch ==> Sewage Treatment - Inspiration from Sweden

[Maureen Reilly]

Stephen Salter of British Columbia tours Sweden to see how they handle 
sewage treatment


In October 2006, GSA volunteer Stephen Salter visited various cities in 
Sweden to find out how this country has tackled sewage treatment. What 
causes a professional engineer and consultant from Victoria to spend his 
quality holiday time talking sewage in Sweden? That’s easy - for the past 
several years, Stephen has been an active and integral part of the campaign 
to bring sewage treatment to Victoria. But his goal has always gone beyond 
just treating our sewage to seeing what we could get out of what we consider 
waste. In his research, Stephen has seen how communities around the world 
get valuable resources from their sewage, including water, biodiesel and 
heat. But the pictures only answered some of his questions, so off to Sweden 
he went! Here are some entries from a journal that Stephen kept during his 
trip.
