Tour participants will get an in depth look at how their wastewater is cleaned and how this water is used once it is clean.  Tours are one hour and thirty minutes in duration.

Energy and Sustainability Tour

Tour participants will get to see a subset of Energy and Sustainability projects the Agency has developed in an effort to deliver Carbon Free Water by 2015. The tour will include solar panels, ground source and pond loop geoexchange heating and cooling systems, electric vehicle charging stations and the Hybrid and Plug in Hybrid Electrical fleet, and the Airport Wastewater Treatment Plant.
