my folks live in the service area and they have reps from our stormwater management team on-site today, removing a fallen tree that's blocking a nearby creek. my mom said dad has already supplied the crew with coffee and mini donuts. updates to follow.

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.

“Dearest manager: I know not which is worse. The snow that seems to cut my frozen skin like blades—or the wind that fills my ears like the chorus of a thousand wails. The endurance of the crew of the Easterly treatment plant is a marvel. I press on. In public service, @nicoleharvel.bsky.social

today, we will treat sewage. we will manage the foul remnants of our past, the health of our present, the hope of our future. days end, but the mission endures. because there will be sewage to treat tomorrow. but this day is today. and today, we will treat sewage.

it is 2:23 am and we just spent 4+ hours with our Easterly night crew. the sights. the sounds. the smells. the silence. the service. honestly we won’t be able to truly capture it all in the content coming soon. but we’re sure as sewage gonna try. and you won’t want to miss it. stay tuned.
