Water
Treatment Plant Tours
(Grade
5 and up)
Tour one of CCWD's
state-of-the-art water treatment plants in Concord or Oakley.
Learn about the different
materials and organisms that are found in raw water and how it is treated
to become fit to drink.
On this 90-minute
tour, you will follow the steps through the treatment plant and observe
chemists and microbiologists as they test the water. This program is offered
at no cost to participating schools within CCWD's service area. CCWD will
also reimburse schools for the cost of bus transportation to the treatment
plant.
This visit is
especially recommended for 5th grade students in conjunction with the
classroom presentation, and makes an excellent follow-on activity to the
Delta Discovery Voyage.
This is also a great
tour for middle, high school, and college level students in chemistry,
ecology or public health. This tour can be adapted to meet specific curriculum
needs.
