to better understand our interns' POV, we asked Ai. (Actual interns.) find out how our real humans Chris, Gabby, Jenna, Divi, Margaret, and Matt answered our intern chat questions. It drops tomorrow. 7.30.2026.
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.

consulted with our maintenance team and picked U-Shaped to win it all this year in my Bracket Bracket™️ fingers crossed.
pleased to inform you our plant operators apparently have a livestream cam in each of our sludge cake bins.
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.

“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”

just asking the question. i may be answering it too.
Is public service punk rock?
Perhaps the greatest underground crossover we never expected.

local punk band dropped a crowd-surfing utility worker into its amazing cover. clean water is officially punk rock. art by @shinercomics.bsky.social
this is one of my favorite winter photos i have ever taken. not just because of the balance, the moment, or the light, but because i am terrified of birds and i faced my fear for the shot. there were seriously so many, i almost bailed. glad i didn't. 📸 for @neorsd.org
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.
utilities are a hidden world, especially at night. our photog @nicoleharvel.bsky.social captured some of the amazing sights that come with the service while i tried to document the stories that came with them. www.neorsd.org/AfterDark

a huuuuge crane is staged at our Southerly plant right now for a heavy lift this week. how huge? in today’s episode of “Anything but the metric system,” apparently more than 33 engineer Christines high. @nicoleharvel.bsky.social

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.
as you know, our social media is up at all hours of the day. but TONIGHT, i will be up late getting all new content with our Easterly plant *night crew* and our very own @nicoleharvel.bsky.social. on-location — with shift manager Chad himself. AMA and i’ll throw him some questions after dark.
majestic Lake Erie sunset. humming swarms of midges. the impending summer-to-fall transition in Cleveland is unmatched.
