Drinking Water Week tours

For this year's Drinking Water Week, May 5-11, the Public Works Department is offering tours to help people learn about the journey our water takes. Tours of the Water Treatment and Restoration plants will happen on Wednesday, May 8, 2024. The tours can be scheduled by calling 541-450-6110. Tours are an hour, and the limit is eight people at a time. Also, the Water Filtration Plant and Water Restoration Plant have stairs, and comfortable shoes are required.

The Water Filtration Plant treats water drawn from the Rogue River before it's released to the reservoir and, ultimately, your home. The Water Restoration Plant treats the water that leaves your home's drainage pipes, making it safe to release downstream into the Rogue River.
