Reply to comment by Educational-List8475 in is Southbridge as bad as everyone says? by apple-masher

I'm really curious what a whimsical sewage plant project looks like.

The plant isn’t whimsical per se but instead of odor control units they replaced a conveyer belt with a screw conveyer and dump truck system for dewatered sludge. So now instead of replacing bearings and fixing the damn belt every few weeks, they have to empty this dump truck every 2 hours while running the centrifuge. Seems like there could have been a better upgrade but Southbridge went with the absolute cheapest contract bidder like usual.
