Tour of Ralph D. Bollman Water Treatment Plant and Pacheco Marsh

Have you ever wondered how your water system works? This is your chance to find out!

Contra Costa Water District (CCWD) and Central Contra Costa Sanitary District (Central San) are teaming up to take you behind the scenes for an in-depth look at your water system, from how your drinking water is treated and distributed by CCWD to how wastewater is handled and discharged by Central San through John Muir Land Trust's Pacheco Marsh. This tour goes behind the scenes to show you how this vital infrastructure works and how our agencies work together to provide water and wastewater services for our communities.

Please Note: If you have previously attended a CCWD tour, we ask that you please do not register. Allow others an opportunity to see their infrastructure.
