In celebration of Rhode Island Clean Water Week and the 50th anniversary of the federal Clean Water Act, the Narragansett Bay Commission (NBC) will offer free public tours of its award-winning Field’s Point Wastewater Treatment Facility in Providence on Wednesday, April 27.

“This facility is simultaneously one of the oldest and most advanced clean water facilities in the nation,” said NBC Chairman Vincent Mesolella. “We’re so excited to give the public the opportunity to ‘look behind the curtain’ and view the process that has made Narragansett Bay cleaner than it has been in 150 years.”

The tour will include a trip to NBC’s state-of-the-science Water Quality Laboratory, complete with a look under the microscope with NBC’s scientists.

“I am confident that anyone who experiences this tour will be amazed and appreciative by the clean water efforts in our community,” Mesolella added.

Members of the public can book a tour at 5:00 or 6:00 PM by emailing [email protected]. Spaces are limited. The experience will take approximately one hour.

The NBC joins seven other clean water agencies in Rhode Island offering free public tours during Rhode Island Clean Water Week. Information on other tours is available at ricwa.org
