Ever Wondered How We Clean Wastewater?
Then this Tour Is for YOU!
Would you like to take your students on a field trip they won't forget? Bring them to the Southside Wastewater Reclamation Plant (SWRP). We clean approximately 55 million gallons of wastewater every day, but most of us never stop to wonder about what it takes to accomplish that. More than 200 employees work:
- to ensure public and environmental health
- to maintain good water quality
- to reclaim a portion of our water resources for further use.
During the two-hour tour, students will do more than just hear about how we clean Albuquerque's wastewater, they'll see it. The tour starts where the wastewater comes into the plant and students follow the path of the wastewater as it is cleaned. At the end of the tour, standing on the banks of the Rio Grande where the cleaned water is released into the river, your students will be amazed by the end results.
Tours are approximately two hours long. We can accommodate up to about 25 students per tour. There is no cost for the tour, but we do not provide transportation to or from SWRP.
