Have you ever wondered what happens to the water you use after it goes down the drain?
To find out, join us on a fascinating and educational visit to the Sacramento Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant in Elk Grove on our next Capital Science Communicators Science Tour! You’ll also learn how their EchoWater Project will help meet new environmental regulations.

Our thanks to Sherrie Lowery and Sharon Sargeant from the communications team at Regional San for welcoming us on this tour — we look forward to an interesting and informative visit!
Plus, the tour will be informally paired the following day with an Open Trail Day in The Bufferlands, a 2,150-acre expanse of open space surrounding the treatment plant that provides high quality wildlife habitat while also serving as a nuisance buffer. Join your fellow Science Peppers on Saturday, October 19th, and enjoy over five miles of trails through the wetlands, lakes, and riparian forests!
