The Forsyth County Water and Sewer department is now offering tours of its water treatment and wastewater treatment plants to the community.
The tours will be of one of the county’s key facilities responsible for processing drinking water or treating wastewater. Those who take a tour will be given a start-to-finish look at the plant's process for turning lake water into tap water, or how wastewater is cleaned to be returned to the environment.
“Forsyth County has made a significant investment in quality water and wastewater treatment infrastructure to provide safe, reliable water service to our customers,” Water & Sewer Director Barry Lucas, said. “Along with this, the protection of the environment through the highest-level treatment of wastewater before it is returned to streams is also a top priority. We are very proud of our facilities and pleased to be able to offer these tours.”
As a safety precaution, attendees of the tours must be eight years or older. Those interested in taking a tour can submit a form here to schedule a time.
