As expertly arranged by Professor Erica Barrow, on Friday, March 22, 2024 an interdisciplinary group of SASE teachers gathered for a three-hour ‘in-depth’ tour of the Southport Wastewater Treatment Facility and DigIndy Pump Station. The facility is owned and operated by Citizens Energy Group and serves the Indianapolis metropolitan area. The DigIndy project is a 28-mile long network of 18-foot diameter deep rock tunnels being built 250-feet beneath the city. As pictured above, our eight-teacher tour group stands in the hub of the SUBMITTED BY: Jack Cooney, with contributions from Erica Barrow and edits from Codi Shoemaker A High Ranking Adventure
DigIndy tunnel system now nearing completion after decades of planning and years of construction. The complex of tunnels will now capture nearly 100 percent of the wastewater overflows that have been a major contributor to water pollution in the city for over a century. Our principal tour guide was Mr. Dustin Abramson, who supervises the facility. He led us through the complex of buildings and instructed us on the step-by-step process of making wastewater good enough to drink. After such a detailed tour, we expressed our great thanks to Mr. Abramson for the care he took to show us around. Members of our group met after the tour for a delightful luncheon and, as we enjoyed our food and spoke about the tour, we were each a little more aware and appreciative of the role clean water plays in our daily lives. For more information and for access to the photo album from our tour, please contact Erica Barrow, Jack Cooney, or other members of our tour group.
