Join us in September for a unique opportunity to tour EID's El Dorado Hills wastewater treatment plant. Learn about the infrastructure, technology, and complex biological processes involved in wastewater treatment, and how recycled water is produced. Additionally, you’ll understand the critical importance of reinvesting in these essential systems to maintain their efficiency and reliability.

• Check-in is at 5:15 p.m., the tour begins at 5:30 p.m.

• Reserve your attendance by emailing Communications@EID.org.

If the scheduled tour reaches capacity, the District will maintain a wait list of interested individuals wishing to participate.

The tour is mostly outdoors, and attendees should wear weather-appropriate clothing. Tours involve walking on varied and hilly terrain that includes metal grated stairs; closed-toe shoes are required. All participants must sign an EID liability waiver to attend.

Please note that children under 12 are not permitted for safety reasons. 

Wastewater collection and treatment involves a highly complex and biologically sensitive process. EID's dedicated staff work tirelessly to meticulously maintain approximately 402 miles of gravity sewer pipelines, 54 miles of pressurized main lines, 8,566 maintenance holes (manholes), and 60 sewer lift stations.
