Guided tour of the Garmerwolde sewage treatment plant

There are currently no guided tours or excursions available at the Garmerwolde sewage treatment plant.

There will be a lot of work going on at these locations in the coming period. There will be many trucks and other vehicles driving around the site, and there will be aerial work platforms and other heavy machinery. The safety of employees and visitors is important to us. 

Location

  • Garmerwolde sewage treatment plant, Grasdijkweg 2, 9798 TC Garmerwolde

Safety first

Visiting the treatment plant is at your own risk. Bacteria may be released at the treatment plant, which generally do not pose a risk. However, the bacteria released may be harmful to an unborn child/baby or to people in poor health. The water board therefore strongly advises against visiting the treatment plants for:

  • pregnant women 
  • (elderly) persons in poor health

How does the water board treat wastewater? We treat wastewater in sewage treatment plants (STPs) and then discharge it into ditches, ponds, and canals.
