Go with the Flow: First Thursday Wastewater Treatment Plant Tour

Join us for a free tour of the City of Vancouver’s Marine Park Wastewater Treatment Facility. This 75-minute walking tour will take you behind the scenes of what happens to all the water that goes down the drains in your home, school, or business.  From a flush, to laundry, to washing dishes, all the water we use goes into underground pipes and to a treatment plant to be cleaned. Learn how to care for our water and our utilities in this unique tour.

Tour is suitable for ages 8 and older.  Closed-toed shoes required for all tour participants. Expect to walk 0.75 on paved surfaces. Participants will encounter several stairways during the tour.  There will be a space in the RSVP form to let us know if there are any accessibility needs you have so that we can do our best to accommodate your needs.

Meet at the Marine Park Engineering building, next door to the Water Resources Education Center.  Detailed logistics will be sent to registered participants.

Registration is required.  Sign up today!

If the event becomes full, please contact the Water Center at vanwrec@cityofvancouver.us or 360-487-7111 to add your name to the waitlist.
