Wastewater Treatment Plant Tour | Bayview

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Have you ever wondered what happens to the water from your shower, laundry and toilet after it goes down the drain? What about stormwater and runoff from lawns and gardens?

The SF Public Utilities Commission invites San Francisco residents to take a free tour of our Wastewater Treatment Plant. You’ll learn about the history of wastewater treatment in San Francisco, tips on preventing pollution of our Bay and Ocean, and best of all, you’ll get to go behind the scenes to see how this vital piece of infrastructure works.
