WEP offers FREE IN-PERSON TOURS at any of its six wastewater treatment plants. 

This unique, behind-the-scenes opportunity is perhaps the best way to learn about this vital environmental field.  

 
 
 
     
 

Wastewater facilities and processes are fascinating and the Department of Water Environment Protection (WEP) is eager to share our knowledge with everyone. To ensure everyone enjoys their visit, the following requirements are in place for all WEP facility tours.
