Resource Description: 

Get up close and personal with our advanced wastewater treatment facilities by signing up for a FREE tour. See how your wastewater is cleaned to drinking water standards before it is returned to the Tualatin River. You’ll also learn how our biosolids treatment produces methane gas which we use to heat our water, buildings and meet a portion of our energy needs. Tours last approximately one-hour but can be modified to fit a school schedule. Children over the age of 8 years old are welcome if accompanied by an adult.
