How the Valley Works—a biocitizen class

How the Valley Works is an empirical exploration of the public and private energy, water & waste handling facilities that make it possible to live the way we do.

Pictures from our excellent morning with Matt Inhelder, primary treatment operator for Hadley’s public water system, and Sharron Gifford of Hadley’s Dept. of Public Works.
Much thanks to Matt and Sharron, their superintendent Michael J. Klimoski, and North Star’s Catherine Gobran & Ken Danford—and of course, my co-explorers Uma, Nadia, Aly and Jack.
