We are not currently providing tours of the Water Treatment Plant due to COVID-19. To protect the health and safety of the public, they will be suspended until further notice. Thank you for your understanding during this unique time.
Touring the Aspinwall Water Treatment Plant is a unique experience for a school field trip, a research project, or an educational outing. You will learn about the source of your drinking water, the treatment process, and how it's distributed to taps throughout Pittsburgh. From March 16 through October 31, we offer tours to schools and community groups upon request. The tours last approximately 90 minutes, and we will work with you to cover the information your group is most interested in learning.
