Film Screening & Discussion: Unless Something Goes Terribly Wrong

Wastewater plants across the country are in need of resuscitation. As America’s aging wastewater systems begin to fail, one Maine facility and its motley crew of unlikely heroes do all they can to stay afloat. This award-winning film follows the day-to-day operations of Portland’s wastewater treatment plant and the funny, close-knit, and inventive individuals working to keep it all running.

Join us for a screening and panel discussion with industry professionals and municipal leaders led by Falmouth Wastewater Department Superintendent Dan Marks.
