I've been to that plant. The operator and manager we were working with seemed pretty decent.

damn, and all I have is a state plumbing inspectors license and a few other inspectors licenses... it was supposed to get me further in life...
while my nephew is getting all his water/wastewater licenses in what was supposed to only be a lifetime job.
LOL.
I may have to see about a few other licenses in the next few yeras and then see how they would transfer state to state...
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

Since there's a lot less people in Alaska does that mean you don't deal with as much chit?

So Alaskans are full of chit? 😁 ETA.....If Alaskans are that full-o-chit I'd hate to be a wastewater treatment specialist in Texas. 😉

I spent a bit of the summer working at the Anchorage waste treatment plant, yeah, it stinks. Even working in doors on a computer, at the end of the day you come home and need to through your clothes in the washer and hit the shower.

The knock out the solids, and then treat the discharge with hypochlorite. Not exactly dumping straight into the inlet, but not giving the full treatment of typical plants.
The smaller Eagle River plant has typical chit eating bugs, and then a UV treatment before being dishcharged.

Actually its probably very clean , not drinking water clean but pretty good. Like said above they treat the effluent with hypochlorite (basically strong bleach ) then most likely sodium bisulfite to remove the hypo. The plant I run in Va discharges into a small river . Independent testing shows the water quality downstream is better than that above the plant.
