Today, A-shift had the opportunity to visit the west well field and the upland reservoir. We were able to deepen our understanding of the city's water distribution system, the chlorine handling system, and brush up on our protocols for responding to a chlorine leak. Thank you to Ryan Shields and Brad McElroy, of the Bellefontaine Water Department, for sharing their expertise and taking time out of their day to help us learn more.
