Community Field Trip: Metro Water Recovery

Remember how exciting field trips used to be? We’re bringing that spirit back! Join us for a new series of community field trips exploring the places where civic life happens, alongside fellow curious neighbors. On this field trip to Metro Water Recovery, you’ll explore the basic concepts of wastewater treatment, the vital role it has in the water cycle and how it protects the water supply on a guided tour. Transportation and light refreshments are provided. We’ll depart and return together from Eloise May Library. About Metro Water Recovery Metro Water Recovery was formed under Colorado law in 1961.
