Page 6 THE VILLADOM TIMES IV • January 27, 2010 Ramsey Young engineers win trip to American Water Plant Students from Saint Paul Interparochial School in Ramsey who built a stunning model of the city of the future now have a visit to a New Jersey American Water treatment plant in their future. The seventh and eighth grade students won the New Jersey American Water “Healthiest Community” award at the New Jersey Future Cities competition held at Rutgers University. For their winning efforts, the students will tour one of the company’s water treatment plants to learn how water is obtained, treated, and delivered to thousands of New Jersey residents. They will witness firsthand how the designs of engineers facilities that supply high-quality water to the state. The visit will also serve as an example to the students of future career choices in the fields of engineering and science.
