SacSewer invites the public to join a free, behind-the-scenes tour of the second-largest treatment facility of its kind in the nation
Sacramento, Calif. — The Sacramento Area Sewer District (SacSewer) is excited to announce the highly anticipated return of the EchoWater Resource Recovery Facility (EchoWater Facility) Public Tour season.
Beginning next month, the public will have an opportunity to learn more about one of the largest and most advanced water resource recovery facilities in the nation, where an average of 151 million gallons of sewage are treated daily. Located near Elk Grove, the EchoWater Facility Public Tour offers a behind-the-scenes look at how we collect and treat sewage, manage and recover natural resources, and protect the environment for the 1.6 million people we serve.
“Our public tours offer the community a unique opportunity to experience firsthand how we’re setting the bar for excellence in utility management and environmental sustainability,” said SacSewer’s Director of Communications, Nicole Coleman. “We invite everyone to join us for a tour, ask questions and learn how the critical work we do is shaping a more sustainable future.”
SacSewer’s free public tours run from April through October and are open to anyone interested in learning about sewage collection and treatment, sustainability, and environmental stewardship. Tour participants will gain a deeper understanding of what happens after they flush their toilets, wash their dishes, or do laundry—and how these everyday actions connect to a vast, sophisticated treatment process designed to protect the environment and public health.
