Why do they need very much water to make icecream? I thought it was made from milk.
All food and beverage plants use large amounts of water for cleaning.
It might be the way the regulations on the treatment of waste water are written, how “waste water” is defined and how a company might have to pay for that. Another state might not treat the waste water the same way, where in Massachusetts, they might require it all be treated as sewage.
Just guessing, I don’t really know.
I don’t know how different it is elsewhere, but here, your sewer charges are calculated directly by how much water you use. You take 10 gallons of fresh water from the state, they charge for 10 gallons of raw sewage.
Might be the same everywhere else...anyone comment on that?
Why would they need a better quality water just for cleaning?
I will say this. Soft Drinks with real sugar tastes better in Harriman, Tn than anywhere I’ve ever been. Of course they DO use water as an ingredient.
