September 2009 luncheon

Two years of research culminated in a luncheon for potential reclaimed water and biosolids compost customers and others with a specific interest in these resources. The lunch was held at the South Treatment Plant. Guests enjoyed a lunch prepared with food grown in the garden followed by a tour of the research and demonstration garden where everyone was able to get their hands dirty and harvest potatoes.
