Get a behind-the-scenes look at our vital work

Have you ever wanted to see how the water we use is cleaned up and returned to nature? Then consider taking a plant tour of the District’s Nine Springs Wastewater Treatment Plant. On our plant tours, you’ll learn about our treatment process and how you can help protect our shared water resources.


The District offers hour-long tours of the treatment plant to anyone who would like to see our processes for cleaning water, learn about the water cycle or hear pollution prevention tips. District tours are open to all ages, but all minors must be accompanied by a responsible adult.

Tours are free, but prior reservations are required. Note that tours may be canceled due to weather or other factors. If a tour is canceled, the District will contact those who have RSVPed.
