Annual Open House
|
|
Each year, we sponsor an open house at our Wastewater Treatment Center. We host hundreds of guests, including scout troops, school groups, environmental advocates, local officials, and anyone who is interested. Guided tours of our facility are provided. We are proud to demonstrate how the treatment process works, and even include the chance to see the native fish that thrive in our treated effluent.
Our 2007 Open House, held on October 6, 2007, was a terrific success, with over 300 guests in attendance. Eighteen tours were given to 300 people.

Our next open house is scheduled for October 4, 2008, from 9:00 am until noon.
Tours of the facility can be arranged by contacting us at our office in Downers Grove, Illinois.
