Hundreds of people tour our facility annually to find out what happens “after you flush”. The polluted wastewater that enters the plant is cleaned and returned to Lake Winnebago cleaner than the lake water itself. Visitors will see the various ways pollutants are removed from wastewater, replicating nature’s own processes, but in a much-condensed time frame. They will also see how wastewater solids are processed so that they can be beneficially re-used, and how energy is recovered along the way to power the Fond du Lac Regional Wastewater Treatment & Resource Recovery Facility. The safety and security of our visitors and our employees is of utmost concern. All visitors are expected to abide by our safety instructions and policies. General Information Tours are free and can be tailored to school groups, civic groups or professional organizatio ns. We can accommodate up to 30 people in a tour. Tour guides are the employees who operate and manage the plant. They provide a thorough, step-by-step explanation of wastewater treatment. Tours are offered Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Tours last approximately 1½ hours and include considerable walking and stair climbing. Visitors will spend about half of their time indoors and half outdoors, so appropriate dress for the weather is recommended. Scheduling a Plant Tour Group tours, suitable for adults and students in grades 6 and above are available. For students below grade 6, our Plant Superintendent or Assistant Superintendent would be happy to visit your school and give an age appropriate presentation on our facility and the wastewater process.
