"When the well is dry, we learn the worth of water"-- Widely attributed to Benjamin Franklin
"Filthy water cannot be washed"-West African proverb
" A nation that fails to plan intelligently for the development and protection of its precious waters will be condemned to wither because of its shortsightedness. The hard lessons of history are clear, written on the deserted sands and ruins of once proud civilizations" -Lyndon B. Johnson

Abroad
Its not unusual, when visiting any treatment facility anywhere, to see discarded pumps, blowers, controls or other equipment removed for servicing or replacement. This particular treatment plant in Montego Bay Jamaica had its own cannon laying besides the aeration tankage.
In a similar vein, in Florida effluent storage ponds we often find snakes, alligators, etc. At this treatment plant in St. Maareten at the right, the plant has its own Iguana. .
This treatment plant is the only one I have seen anywhere that had its own flag. The owner was proud of his facility in Panama and rightly so. The flag flies atop the housing over the flow equalization tank.
