The “Made in Ada” water tower emblazoned with the Wilson Sporting Goods logo makes most folks think of NFL football. But from the nearby environs of the Village of Ada water treatment plant, it also serves as a reminder that our tap water is a “Made in Ada” product, too.
On April 16 I joined a group of Ada Community Improvement Corporation members for a tour of the plant led by operator in training Alex Fields. The event was a sort of exam review for Fields, who passed his state certification test last year and will be granted his certificate when he has a full year of plant experience in May.
Have any idea what goes into making water from Ada’s wells safe to drink? I didn’t. Turning on a faucet and making payments are the extent of my personal water experience.
