Description

The board of the Environmental Technology/Food and Green department is pleased to invite you to an excursion to the Veluwe Water Board's Apeldoorn sewage treatment plant in Apeldoorn on Thursday 16 April 2009 from 2pm to 5.30pm, with an opportunity for a chat afterwards.

These are aimed at sustainable and ecologically sound treatment of various waste streams.
