Tertiary & professional
We run free technical tours of our water, wastewater treatment and water recycling plants for tertiary students.
The tours run for 1.5 hours and include a walking tour of an industrial site and time to ask questions.
Depending on the student's interest and background, we'll discuss topics such as:
- safety and environmental risk management
- day to day operations of industrial sites
- how water is used, moved and treated in the urban water system
- water management, including the roles of individuals, governments, non-government organisations and regulators
- technology and planning for the future.
We're not hosting visits from professional or international delegations at present.
We offer free tours for TAFE and university groups.
