This week on Go Time, instead of a regular Go Time episode, we are featuring an episode of H2OMG. H2OMG is a podcast produced by the City of Fort Worth Water Utility, and every episode is all about water and all the ways it touches our lives in Fort Worth. In this episode, “Hippo Poop!”, H2OMG goes to the Fort Worth Zoo and talks with the Life Support Systems Supervisor about the zoo's water filtration systems and how they help keep the animals happy.

A huge thanks to John Drummond, the Fort Worth Zoo’s Life Support Systems Supervisor.
