We invite you to visit our Wastewater Treatment Center for our annual Open House on Saturday, Oct. 5. The Open House is a free, family-friendly event on Saturday, Oct. 5 from 9 a.m. to noon at the District’s Wastewater Treatment Center, 5003 Walnut Avenue in Downers Grove. This is a unique opportunity for residents to experience firsthand how a local wastewater treatment plant operates.
Visitors can tour the plant with one of the District’s wastewater experts to learn about the different processes used to clean wastewater that comes from homes and businesses.
Anyone bringing a group should submit a request below or call the office at 630-969-0664 to schedule a tour. Individuals requesting accommodations for special needs are asked to contact us in advance.
Visitors will learn why we need a lab and what role the lab serves at the treatment plant. Visitors will also get to see live microorganisms used to clean wastewater.
Talk with biosolids experts and explore the equipment and trucks used around the treatment plant. Refreshments will also be provided.
If you have any questions, please contact us at 630-969-0664 or through our contact us form.
