In an effort to share with the public the science of wastewater management, Lebanon Utilities is providing a tour of its Wastewater Treatment Facility this Saturday, October 24 from 1 to 3 p.m. The facility is located at 802 Lafayette Avenue in Lebanon.
Staff-guided tours will be on the hour (at 1, 2 and 3 p.m.) and provide a great educational opportunity regarding the inner-workings of the
treatment plant. We encourage our area school systems to take advantage of this opportunity to observe “science at work.” However, a few things to keep in mind:
• The tour is not handicapped accessible and includes numerous stairs, catwalks, etc.
• The tour is not appropriate for those who cannot walk a long distance or those who are afraid of heights
• The tour is not appropriate for young children; parents bringing children will have sole responsibility for their safety and well-being
• A good portion of the tour will be outside, so dress accordingly!
Participants will need to sign a release. You can download that document here (LEBANON UTILTIES WASTE WATER PLANT TOUR RELEASE), though copies will be made available at the Wastewater Treatment Facility. An excerpt from the release:
