sewage is water with life experience. it reflects the choices we make and carries with it the residue of our yesterdays and years. it can unsettle us—until we realize it was once a part of us. our pasts make us who we are today. and can inspire us to be better tomorrow.

winter sun shines high above a circular still water tank at a sewage treatment plant. The sky is blue with puffy clouds and brick buildings are on the distant horizon. the sky and sun reflect off the water in the tank. the foreground seemingly connects to the distant buildings as a catwalk on the left extends from out-of-frame bottom towards the horizon.

within the enormity of the task we undertook Tuesday, moving this 800-ton behemoth 200 feet underground safely where she soon will begin a 3.5-mile tunneling journey, were some of the smallest of details. a braided cable. a welder's spark. in the magnitude and the minutiae, there is wonder. 🧵

today, Nicole Harvel @nicoleharvel.bsky.social snapped a memory-card full of construction site pics. she also talked to Laurie who has a memory full of construction sights all her own. days like this are about more than projects. they’re about people.

two women stand in construction safety gear in NEORSD hard hats on a project site. they pose for a smiling selfie. the woman standing behind the photographer has more than 50 years of experience in construction.

I've worked in construction for over 50 years now. Started with the District in June 2021.
So far, l've worked on 17 Sewer District construction projects (14 of which have achieved final completion).
I just love tunnel projects and felt I could continue to make a difference, like helping mentor younger construction supervisors.
Project Clean Lake has been a tremendous benefit to the environment and water quality, and I'm proud to be a part of it.
