Throwback Thursday 📷 Back in the 80's, before today’s technology, #FPUD experimented with vermicomposting—using worms to help break down wastewater byproducts naturally. It was innovative, effective… and let’s just say the smell made sure you knew it was working. Not our most fragrant project, but definitely one of our most memorable.
