Stickney Water Reclamation Plant Tour

Stickney Water Reclamation Plant Tour
Thursday, April 10 from 10:00am-12:30pm
6001 West Pershing Road, Cicero, IL

Nearly 450 billion gallons of wastewater are treated annually by the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District's (MWRD's) seven facilities, and the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant is not only the biggest of them, it is one of the world's largest! On this exclusive CTPA tour, discover how the MWRD's one-of-a-kind water management system mitigates flooding and converts wastewater into valuable resources, like clean water, phosphorus, fertilizers, biosolids, and more. This tour is a great opportunity to better understand how the Chicago-area functions and how it is preparing for the future.

Parking is available on-site and it is located near Pace buses. If you would like to car pool, please reach out to any of the other CTPA registrants or post on to the CTPA Facebook page. For those interested in joining, there is a CTPA lunch after the tour at the nearby Paisans Pizzeria (Berwyn) and register for that separate event here.

Here are important details for the tour:

• This special tour is limited to 30 participants. If you register for this event and can no longer attend, please cancel your own registration ASAP on either the CTPA website's calendar or the WildApricot app so that the next person on the waitlist can join.
• Tour registration will initially only be available to CTPA members, but on March 1, registration will open so that members will be able to bring a non-CTPA guest if there is availability.
• All tour participants need to complete the waiver form found here no later than March 27 which is also the last day to register. You will not be permitted to tour the facility without completing this in advance.
• The tour starts promptly at 10:00 am, so please plan to arrive by 9:45 am for check-in. If you show up late, you may not be able to join the tour group.
• You will need to bring the original copy of the ID used in the aforementioned waiver form to the facility upon check-in.

I hope you can join for this really special CTPA event!
