The Sacramento Regional County Sanitation District (SRCSD) invites you to learn more about wastewater by visiting our Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant, located near the intersection of Franklin and Laguna Boulevards in Elk Grove, California.

A ninety-minute guided walking tour provides a fascinating introduction to today's high-tech wastewater industry. Tours are especially popular with school groups, civic organizations and children. Visitors to the treatment plant will see:

What wastewater looks like before, during and after treatment
A portion of our more than two miles of underground tunnels
Gigantic tanks that hold as much as two million gallons of wastewater
Our plant's computerized control center, and
A bird's eye view of the 2,400 acres of natural wetlands, grasslands, Riparian forest and farmlands surrounding our plant.

Especially for teachers: Teachers appreciate the way our tour makes lessons about the water cycle or water ecology come alive for children. Sample lesson plans and educational resources are available to teachers on request.

Specialized tours are available for industrial customers or wastewater technical professionals.

Groups tours are given on Thursdays or Fridays by appointment, with starting time between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. Individuals wishing to visit our plant may join a scheduled group tour. Electric carts are available to accommodate the disabled. School and youth groups please note that parental consent is required for minors. For safety reasons, children under eight years of age may not tour the plant.
