When you turn on your tap clean, healthy drinking water comes out. Learn how the water from our rivers get cleaned and delivered to our homes, schools and businesses. We will describe the drinking water treatment process and demonstrate the types of tests that Water Department scientists perform to insure the water is safe. You will also have an opportunity to clean up your own “dirty” water sample using filtration.

(Sessions run every 30 minutes.)
