Join us as we celebrate Drinking Water Week with free, guided tours of our Garrett A. Morgan Water Treatment Plant. See first-hand everything that goes into making water from Lake Erie clean and safe to drink. From pumping lake water through a miles-long tunnel to filtering, disinfection, and testing, all while utilizing state-of-the-art technology to monitor everything. We’ll also have water-related experiments, demonstrations, and exhibits for the whole family.
To make sure everyone gets the most out of the experience, the number of tour spots available will be limited. Tours will be 45-60 minutes long and leave every 10-15 minutes, starting at 10 a.m. and ending at 3 p.m. When you register, you'll have to pick a tour time slot. Each tour is limited to 20-25 people. This will ensure that wait time is minimal and all guests get a thorough tour.
You're welcome to arrive before or stay after your tour time to enjoy the other activities available from our team and partner organizations. We'll also have several food trucks on site.
Please keep in mind that Morgan, like all of our water treatment plants, operates 24/7/365. Some areas may be very noisy during the tour and certain restrictions will be in place for the safety and security of visitors and employees. Tours involve considerable walking and standing. If you have any accessibility needs, please let us know in advance and we'll be happy to make accommodations.
