Tours

Thank you for your interest in touring DC Water facilities. 

We are not currently accepting requests from the general public for tours of the Blue Plains Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant. 

However, we do have a robust environmental education program that offers a limited number of tours for school groups of our historic Main Pumping Station and our innovative HQO headquarters building.

Click here for more information about those tours and other education outreach opportunities for students.

If you have any questions about our tour program, please email us at tours@dcwater.com.
