Insurance Requirements Insurance coverage is required for everyone visiting a City of Toronto Works and Emergency Services facility. Most schools boards provide a certificate of insurance which provides coverage for staff and students. Students and staff without coverage from their school board and all other individuals must complete the Release Agreement. The Release Agreement will be sent with confirmation of your tour and must be handed in to your tour guide before beginning your tour or access to the facility will be denied. This informative tour takes a look at the equipment and processes required to turn water from Lake Ontario into safe drinking water for Toronto residents.
Parking is available at the bottom of the hill.
Tours should meet at the door of the lower building closest to the parking lot. Whatever we flush down our toilets or pour down our sinks will end up in the sewage treatment process. This tour lets you see how wastewater is cleaned before it enters Lake Ontario. Watch the process of dumping, compacting and re-loading into transport trailers for shipment to the landfill. Recyclable materials are also dumped and compacted for transport to processing plants.
