A second “child friendly” tour will follow from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. for residents with children age 6 years or older. Anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult. All adults are required to provide photo identification upon arrival.

Water facility tours are limited to the first 30 people that sign up for each group, and all must be Evanston residents.

Parking will be available at the Water Treatment Facility via the driveway located on the north side of Lincoln St., between the two buildings. Please arrive at the facility 20 minutes before the tour start time, as admittance to the facility will not be permitted once the tours have started.
