Our visit to LAKU Lambir Water Treatment Plant was on Saturday, 24 March. We started off from the school at 8.30 am in the chartered bus and arrived at 9.00 am. Lambir Water Treatment Plant held the Open Day in conjunction with World Water Day.
The office buildings. The treatment plants are located behind the office.
Our group photo with the staff.
The entrance lobby : - exhibition and slide show.
Away from the main office building, we went down to see Sungai Liku, one of the places where we get the water. This is the nearest water source to the plant. Looking at the water, none of the children or any one of us will drink the water from this river.
Water is also obtained from these two places : Sungai Bakong and from the bore wells.
This is the Water Pump House - the place where water is drawn from the river by pumps. The huge pipes carry the water from the river to the filter plant.
The children are feeling the vibration caused by the water being pumped up and forced through to the filter plant.
There are 4 huge pipes.
The water pump house plan - the pumps are located below and draws the water in from the river. The plan above shows the position of the pumps. 
This is the Filter Plant, there are 8 tanks. Below these tanks are located the various materials where the water will pass through, to clean the water.
The children in the Filter Plant section.
This is the laboratory where the water is analysed and checked. 
A very spacious area specially prepared for us. Here the children had their refreshments and later tried to finish up their drawings.
Before leaving, the children were given ice creams - a pleasant surprise for the children. 
Thank you and good bye to the staff.
Our thanks and appreciation to Puan Azelina bt. Azanjani and Mr. Chai Foo Yew for showing us around and making sure that the children had a good time. Thank you too for all the goodies given to the children !
