Notice: Part 2 has been cancelled due to the city of Asheville North Fork Water Treatment Plant’s scheduling errors.
Urban Water Cycle Tour
Our local rivers and natural waters are part of our everyday life. Join MountainTrue for two separate tours which will help get you better acquainted with the water you use to drink, wash, and flush. Where does our water come from, and where does it go? Thursday we will tour Buncombe County’s Wastewater Treatment plant (where our water goes), and Friday we will tour the City of Asheville’s Water Treatment Plant (where our water comes from). You may attend one, or both. Register for each separately. Free!
Both tours will last up to two hours and will be mostly outdoors. Please dress accordingly with the weather and wear sturdy walking shoes. We will be walking quite a distance, and up a few hills. Bring water to drink.
