Yorkshire Water is inviting Scarborough residents to come and view its best-kept secrets, including unusual items found in its wastewater treatment plants and what goes on behind their usually-closed doors.

Scarborough's wastewater works is allowing the public to book tours of the site over the coming months, during which they will gain a better understanding in the processes involved in wastewater treatment.

It also includes an intriguing peek at the unusual items recovered by workers - including false teeth, diamond rings and even a field gun from the Great War, Scarborough Today informs.

Richard Sears, Yorkshire Water's community relations manager, said that by opening the plant to visitors, he hopes that "people will take the chance to find out for themselves how Yorkshire Water ensures they receive a safe, clean supply of water".

Yorkshire Water supplies around 1.24 billion litres of water daily, operates more than 700 water treatment plants and 120 reservoirs.
