Open Day 2019 - Life In a Drop of Water

The winner of the "Life in a Drop of Water" public contest chosen by visitors

Domžale, 18th May 2019 - On Saturday 18th May 2019 an OPEN DAY was organised at the Domžale-Kamnik Central Wastewater Treatment Plant, which was attended by around 500 visitors from the municipalities of Domžale, Kamnik, Mengeš, Trzin, Komenda, and Cerklje na Gorenjskem. First, Toni Dragar, Mayor of the Municipality of Domžale, and Marjeta Stražar, General Manager of the CČN, addressed the visitors. Then the winner of the "Life in a Drop of Water" public contest was announced. The aim of the contest organised by the CČN was to raise awareness among the inhabitants and to encourage them to manage wastewater responsibly.

Among the four finalists, it was the visitors who chose the winner, and they chose the animated film "TV BULB Breaking News" by Irena Režek because they thought that it presented the importance of cleaning wastewater in a wastewater treatment plant in the most comprehensible and innovative way. The cultural part of the event was opened by the Godba Domžale brass orchestra with evergreen melodies followed by water displays performed by firefighters from the local volunteer fire brigades of Študa and Ihan. The programme continued with the performances of the Sovice dance group from Domžale and of the singers Eva Hren and Irena Yebuah Tiran, the latter also hosted the event, which all thrilled the audience.

The event was accompanied by a painting exhibition on the topic of water organised by the cultural association Kulturno društvo Senožeti Radomlje and the paraplegic artists' association Zveza društva paraplegikov, among the latter also artists who paint with their mouth.

2011 / The Domžale-Kamnik Central Wastewater Treatment Plant Decides to Celebrate Its 30th Birthday Together With Its Users

An open day entitled Life in a Drop of Water was organised and at the same time a really appealing publication for the event was published with the following thought by Mr Sauvage de Saint Marc on the cover: "Water, you are tasteless, colourless, odourless, we cannot define you, and although we taste you, still we do not know you. Life does not need you – you are life".

2007 / Operation of the Domžale-Kamnik Central Wastewater Treatment Plant Was Not Well Known to the Local Public

As everywhere else, here, too, clean waters had been taken too much for granted, and this was the reason we wanted to start raising awareness among the public about the importance of the wastewater treatment plant operations with the focus on bringing the operations of the plant closer to the public.

The response was extraordinary as around 150 curious and interested individuals appeared at the event. What was most exciting about the visit was the great interest of visitors in the operation of the plant, where they got the opportunity to study in detail a droplet of water under a microscope and listen to a lecture as prepared by our employees. After the official part of the event, we all relaxed a bit by enjoying a number of gourmet delights and good music.
