This is Rob from the sewer authority, wanted to reach out and say you did an amazing job with this video, and it was a pleasure to tour you around and help you make it. Hope it reaches a lot of people that want to learn about what we do!

Thank you! I'm guessing you have field trip groups come through a lot. It definitely shows thorugh that you all are dedicated to your work, and you're a pretty good science communicator and educator on top of it!

Great video! Great job breaking down the functioning and importance of reusing our most precious natural resource.

A well-done presentation, Marc. Thanks for taking the time to investigate something most people would rather ignore!

Hey I’m the guy in the lab! Great video. They told me after someone was making a YT video but I didn’t expect it to be so well produced!

[@marcberm]

Thank you so much!! I'm so sorry I never asked your name! There were just so many people around, and trying to film but also keep others/bystanders and especially kids out of frame for privacy reasons can be challenging.
