The in-person tour is led by a WPCP staff member at the Wastewater Treatment Plant and is approximately 1.5 hours. Safety is WPCP’s top priority, as the treatment plant is an active, fully operational plant with heavy truck traffic. This tour involves walking up and down narrow stairways, walking over uneven ground, and potentially being exposed to strong odors and birds. Chaperones are required for children and all attendees must be over 10 years old. Individual safety waivers are required.
Classroom teachers and home school groups are highly encouraged to schedule a tour and come explore the wastewater treatment plant.
This is a great opportunity to enhance your curriculum by showing students science in action - cleaning water using mechanical, biological and chemical processes.
Free in-person tours are available with appointment.
