The post below is from parade:
Water Treatment is back, separate from The Lobby onto its own Gamemode! Water Treatment has been altered to be a standalone mode. This is not a limited time event, so you will be able to complete it at your own pace.
--- What Was Water Treatment?
For those who weren't here last year, Water Treatment was a limited time jump puzzle course attached to The Lobby. The course itself was not linear and allowed exploring with some risk-taking. You could pick your own path to where you want to go. By travelling through the map and completing the various courses, you were able to gain loot from chests. No Loadout was needed and all players could play.
--- What Has Changed?
The original Water Treatment is now on its own server, as well as an entire separate region was created in addition. With the size increase, Checkpoints are now sparsely littered through the map, however, these are not your average Checkpoints. Some courses were removed from the original Water Treatment (Maze and Elevator).
Big Chests and Small Chests are still in. You can find Big Chests at the end of a path you took, usually behind an intricate course. You can find Small Chests throughout the various sections of the map, occasionally behind a small jump puzzle course.
With new and returning courses, expect to be able to compete in Speed Running. You can start a Trial to track your time. You can also watch a recording of the fastest time for each course.
You can spectate players in the server and see what they're doing (don't choke).
As a new form of parkour, Wall Running has been added also voice chat is in proximity.
--- Difficulty
Water Treatment has a variety of difficulties in the courses you will be facing throughout the map. Some players will struggle in these course and some will attempt with ease. Every course is possible for every player if you play enough (except for one, good luck). Water Treatment is not a limited time event, so you are free to come and attempt these courses. Water Treatment will be getting map iterations from time to time, so if you are giving up with certain courses, you can return in the future and try again on something new.
I do urge for everyone to try the gamemode out at least once, even if you particularly don't enjoy jump puzzles, it has a change of atmosphere from the rest of the gamemodes.
--- Trials
Trials are timed courses. When you start a trial your actions are recorded so if you get the Server Record, everyone can see your run through of the course until someone beats your record of course. They can spectate the record by typing !specrecord <partial course name>. You can also see the 'ghost' of the record holder completing the course, they show up as a yellow orb with a trail.

Thank you parade for providing me with the above text. Below are my own notes and extra info.
To join type !wt . Right now it's 40 players and crates are disabled, but there's support for multiple servers if needed, ontop of that it's on the old hardware so it is possible 40 players is too many for it to run, so we will see!

- You can type and of the following
!checkpoints, !cp, !c, !trials - to open your main WT hub UI:
From this UI you can see your unlocked checkpoints, set your respawn point, see the current records and other things. It's quite useful. You can also bind a key to the console command br_open_checkpoints. - Cross-server text chat between the Lobby and Water Treatment. You can use TEAM CHAT for localized chat.
This allows players to communicate to those on the lobby or WT. It just makes it feel a bit less lonely and its tech I'll be using more in the future. - Spectating players
You can spectate anyone on the server via !spec <name>. There is a bug where apparently people out of spectator mode can not hear you talking so keep that in mind. It also displays the number of people spectating you in the top right corner. - Record Replays.
I made a cool system that records players attempting to go for records, and plays their run back for everyone to spectate if they choose. It's pretty cool. !specrecord <partial course name>.
