Get to know EBMUD's Wastewater Treatment Plant!

Have you ever wondered about what happens to dirty water after it goes down the drain or is flushed down the toilet? EBMUD offers three options to learn more about how wastewater treatment protects public health and the San Francisco Bay:

• Online virtual tour
• Live-guided virtual tour
• In-person tour

1. Online Virtual Tour

The online virtual tour “From your tap to the San Francisco Bay” is EBMUD’s newest online educational resource. The tour features a variety of engaging videos and interactive maps to help audiences of all levels learn about EBMUD’s Main Wastewater Treatment Plant.

2. Live-Guided Virtual Tour

The live-guided virtual tour is a one-hour, interactive PowerPoint presentation conducted over Zoom with an EBMUD staff member. This tour covers a range of topics, including types of wastewater, contaminants, pollution prevention, history of wastewater treatment, wastewater treatment fundamentals, and beneficial reuse. The tour is strategically designed for non-technical audiences around the high-school level; however, it can be customized as needed for special tour requests, e.g. younger audiences, graduate-level, etc.

Upcoming dates: To be announced

Submit a  Group Tour Request Form  to schedule a virtual tour for your school, work, or community group. Reservation priority is given to schools in EBMUD's wastewater service area.

3. In-Person Tour

Virtual tours

Take a peek behind the scenes and learn about the different water treatment processes that will help us secure our water supply for future generations.

Every year we receive lots of requests for excursions to visit our treatment plants, so we’ve developed a range of virtual tours that allow everyone to learn from the comfort of their classroom.

Turning seawater into drinking water

Desalination plants supply up to half of Perth’s drinking water. Watch how we process seawater from the Indian Ocean into fresh drinking water at the Southern Desalination Plant.

Discover groundwater replenishment

After wastewater is treated, some is sent to an Advanced Water Recycling Plant for further treatment. The recycled water meets drinking water standards before it is then recharged into our aquifers to help replenish our groundwater.

Inside a water resource recovery facility

Take a look inside the Beenyup Plant in Craigie at the process wastewater undergoes to be treated for reuse or discharge in the ocean.

Treating groundwater for drinking

Watch this video of the Wanneroo Groundwater Treatment Plant to learn about the complex treatment process that makes groundwater safe for us to drink.

Virtual Water Plant Tour

The Village of Wayne City is happy to announce the new water treatment plant has been finished. Due to the on-going global pandemic, we are unable to have an open house at this time. With that being said, we have uploaded pictures of the new facility so our citizens can take a look first. The virtual tour includes numerous pictures throughout the facility and gives you a good idea of what is behind the closed door. The Village of Wayne City is proud of our new facility and we are so excited to show it to you.
