Dive into discovery: Free Water Pool-ooza events celebrate Grand Rapids' water systems

Families are invited to explore the hidden world of Grand Rapids’ water systems through two free, hands‑on Water Pool‑ooza events that offer rare behind‑the‑scenes tours, interactive activities and fun learning experiences for ages 9 and up. From discovering how our drinking water is drawn from Lake Michigan and made safe at the Lake Michigan Filtration Plant on May 30, to seeing how wastewater is cleaned and returned to the environment during guided tours of the Water Resource Recovery Facility on June 13, these events give residents an exciting look at the essential systems that keep our community healthy. Both events include expert-led activities, insights into water‑sector careers, and practical ways families can help protect local water resources.

The event flyers are attached.
