The program partnered with Lakeside Equipment to explore the hidden journey of water from our homes and businesses, revealing the intricate processes that transform it back into a vital resource.
This engaging segment of “All Access with Andy Garcia” will soon introduce Public Television audiences to the essential work of Lakeside Equipment. Scheduled for filming later this year, this feature will meticulously detail how wastewater is treated, removing contaminants and ultimately returning clean water to our environment. It’s a fascinating look at the unsung heroes and the powerful machinery that safeguard our planet’s most precious commodity. The segment will illuminate how Lakeside Equipment has, over nearly a century, continuously developed and evolved its equipment to meet the ever-changing demands of municipalities and industries for treating wastewater. From the initial screening of large debris to the advanced biological nutrient removal, the program will highlight the comprehensive solutions provided.
“For 97 years Lakeside Equipment has been dedicated to helping engineers, customers and plant operators find the optimum answers to their wastewater challenges. We are so proud to be a part of this All Access programming and have the opportunity to share our history and passion for the pursuit of cleaner water.” – Dan Widdel, President of Lakeside Equipment
The journey of wastewater, from the moment it leaves your sink or toilet, is a complex dance of engineering and environmental stewardship. This segment will illustrate how dedicated professionals, utilizing innovative equipment developed over decades, ensure that this used water is meticulously cleaned and made viable again within the water cycle. Viewers will gain a deeper appreciation for the painstaking steps involved in removing everything from human waste to food particles, soaps, and even those stubborn “flushable” wipes that pose a significant challenge to treatment systems.
These wipes, which do not break down, clog pumps and can gather with grease and oil to create significant sewer blockages, making the work of companies like Lakeside Equipment even more crucial. The program will also touch upon the importance of Biological Nutrient Removal, highlighting how the elimination of nitrogen and phosphorus compounds prevents harmful algal blooms that can deplete oxygen and endanger aquatic life. It’s a reminder that clean water is not a given; it’s a testament to the continuous innovation and tireless efforts of companies like Lakeside Equipment, ensuring the health of our communities and ecosystems. Their enduring commitment, stemming from Dr. John Montgomery’s foresight in 1928, remains the driving force behind their motto, “Cleaner Water for a Brighter Future.”
